 Banjo Paterson – The Man Behind the Legend

Tonight’s Bedtime Story takes you beyond Waltzing Matilda and The Man from Snowy River and into the beating heart of the man who wrote them. Banjo Paterson was more than a poet. He was a war correspondent, a horseman, a romantic, a sharp observer of the world around him, and a storyteller who somehow captured the soul of Australia with a pen and an unshakeable curiosity.

In this episode, we wander through the wild landscapes that shaped him, the turbulent chapters that tested him, and the surprising moments that revealed his grit and vulnerability. It is a story of a man who believed in possibility, who wrote with bravery and spirit, and whose words still echo through our culture today.

Settle in and drift with us through this reflective, lyrical journey into the life of one of Australia’s greatest voices. This is Banjo Paterson as you may have never imagined him.

Catch the Nightline Bedtime Story live at 11.30pm AEDT, during The Nightline, broadcasting 8pm till midnight, Monday to Friday, right across the 2SM Super Radio Network with Cheralyn Darcey.
