For much of its history, Australia's bush music belonged to an oral and folkloric tradition, and was only later published in print in volumes such as? Banjo Paterson 's?Old Bush Songs, in the 1890s. More than 70 of? bush band ?music" can be traced to the? sea shanties ?of 18th and 19th century Europe and other songs sung by the convicts who were sent to Australia during the early period of the British colonisation, beginning in 1788. Early Australian ballads sing of the harsh ways of life of the epoch and of such people and events as? bushrangers ,? swagmen ,? drovers ,? stockmen ?and? shearers . Convict and bushranger verses often railed against government tyranny. Classic bush songs on such themes include:? The Wild Colonial Boy ,? Click Go The Shears ,? The Eumeralla Shore , The Drover's Dream,? The Queensland Drover ,?

Later themes which endure to the present include the experiences of war, of droughts and flooding rains, of Aboriginality ?and of the railways and trucking routes which link Australia's vast distances. Isolation and loneliness of life in the? Australian bush ?has been another theme.

Waltzing Matilda , often regarded as Australia's unofficial? national anthem , is a quintessential Australian folk song, influenced by Celtic folk ballads.

Country and folk artists such as? Tex Morton ,? Slim Dusty ,? The Bushwackers ,? John Williamson , and? John Schumann ?of the band? Redgum ?have continued to record and popularise the old bush ballads of Australia through the 20th and into the 21st century – and contemporary artists including? Sara Storer ?and? Lee Kernaghan ?draw heavily on this heritage.
