A Singing Old Timeri"He's lean like a sapling and roughly 6 feet tall,", Ian M. Johnstone , single work poetry (p. 23-24)
Waltzing Matilda : Reading the Myths, Diannah Johnston , single work criticism

'This paper discusses: the 'myths' surrounding the words for and the production of Waltzing Matilda; ideas from the late Russel Ward about the tune; these being perpetuated by coinage/bank-note images, the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame, etc. Essentially the process of 'elevation' of the piece contains a sequence of steps obliterating a truer history of the Waltzing Matilda tune, and of its seminal place in the evolution of Australian culture.'
