Visit the town of Wilcannia on the .

forms part of the traditional lands of the Paakantji people and has a richly unique Aboriginal and Australian pioneering history. The town became know as the ‘Queen of the West’ in its past, bustling and prosperous from the river transport that developed here. In 1887, 218 steamers unloaded 36,000 tons of stores and shipped wool and produce weighing 26,000 tons. This prosperous time is still evident today with amazing sandstone buildings to be seen throughout the town like the Wilcannia Post Office and Post Master's Residence constructed in 1879.

Christina Macpherson: From Bushranger Encounter to Musical Legacy

Christina Macpherson, known for her role in creating "Waltzing Matilda," had a remarkable connection to Australia's history. Born in 1864, she experienced a brush with infamy as a baby when the notorious bushranger Dan Morgan raided her family's home, Peechelba, in Victoria.

During the raid, Morgan held the Macpherson family hostage at gunpoint while they had dinner. Christina, a baby at the time, wouldn’t stop crying. Morgan allowed someone to calm her, allowing the family to escape through a window. They alerted the neighbours, leading to Morgan's eventual capture and death.

Though Christina was too young to remember, this dramatic encounter became part of her family’s lore. Ironically, her early brush with history would foreshadow her future role in Australia's cultural legacy.

In 1895, Christina provided the melody for "Waltzing Matilda," playing it on her zither, while Banjo Paterson wrote the lyrics. Inspired by a brass band performance, she recalled the tune combined with Paterson's words to create what would become Australia's unofficial national anthem.

Christina's life, from a baby in a bushranger’s raid to a key figure in one of the nation’s most beloved songs, reflects the unexpected ways personal and national histories intertwine. Her contribution to Australian music has cemented her legacy in the nation's cultural heritage.
