Saltbush Bill : ウィキペディア英語版 | Saltbush Bill (詳細はAustralian writer and poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson. It was first published in ''The Bulletin'' magazine on 15 December 1894, the Christmas issue of that publication.〔(Austlit - "Saltbush Bill" by A. B. Paterson )〕 Saltbush Bill was one of Paterson's best known characters who appeared in 5 poems: "Saltbush Bill" (1894), "Saltbush Bill's Second Fight" (1897), "Saltbush Bill's Gamecock" (1898), "Saltbush Bill on the Patriarchs" (1903), and "Saltbush Bill, J.P." (1905).〔''The Oxford Companion to Australian Literature'', 2nd edition, p670〕 ==Plot summary==
The character is introduced in this poem as a drover of sheep along "the track of the Overland", who stretches "the law of the Great Stock Routes" by allowing his sheep to make use of all the good grass they find. On the occasion described in the poem, Bill's sheep have spread across a squatter's property. A Jackaroo arrives and attempts to drive the sheep back into the accepted "space of the half-mile track". An argument and then fight ensues between Bill and the Jackaroo, and, while Bill concedes after a marathon fight, in the end he achieves his aim of finding his sheep a good feed.〔
