Sir Winston Churchill is quoted as saying about American English that "there is a language that divides us." That, of course, is even more true of Australian English. The best example of this is "Waltzing Matilda." When I first heard this song I mistakenly thought it referred to a young woman Matilda. Wowww! Was I wrong!
So, here is the history and the meaning of the words of Australia's most popular song.
