I also have something in common with Banjo Paterson and many others: although he may have lived and worked in Sydney as an adult, he was born and spent a large amount of his childhood near Orange, New South Wales. Although it's become a lot more sophisticated in recent years, when I was a child (and certainly in Banjo's time) it was most definitely country and not urban fringe. I suspect he gained the city-slicker veneer but was still a country boy at heart.
