Very cool idea for a vignette and well carried out. It expresses the feeling
and atmosphere of the song really well, the beginning is peaceful and this is
really well reflected in your vignette. I would love to see a series of
vignettes for the remaining part of the song.

Yes, I agree. It would be great to see it in the brick.

On a side note Waltzing Matilda is what they actually called it when they
carried the swag. Also another side note to this interesting song/poem(and
obviously well studied in Australian Schools :D) is the variations in the
song/poem. The variation I learnt started with ‘Once a jolly swagman camped
by a billabong, Under the shade of a coolibah tree’ The version you used is
the original text for the song written in 1984. But there are also a number
of other variations out there but these are the two common ones.
|
Also of note is the fact that there are at least 2 variations of the tune - the
commonly known version, which Olympics watchers probably heard a few times, and
the one I prefer, used by “The Seekers” when they recorded the song in the early
sixties, and often called “the Queensland version”.
