Banjo Paterson wrote the poem ‘The Man From Snowy River’. Its as Australian as you can get. He tells the story of the tough horsemen of Snowy Mountains. Footage is from the movie ‘Man From Snowy River’ presented by Michael Edgley International & Cambridge Films – perhaps the greatest movie ever made in Australia by Australians. It stars Tom Burlinson, Jack Thompson, Sigrid Thornton and Kirk Douglas (for US distribution purposes & the money men), he did a pretty good job all in all. For those of you who have not seen the movie do yourselves a favor and go get the DVD. You will not regret it.

@maggijude I mean from a professional/theoretical perspective, a myth has nothing to do with the field of psychology. Literature, existentialism, possibly pseudo psych, but not psych.
This is news for me and my class for if someone saw it then that is prove for my school now I am having time on my project for

@rachg01 “myth ” is a source of inspiration for us in life in general and hard times in particular
@maggijude I get what you mean, but a myth has nothing to do with psychology. You mean, legend? Or poem, or tale?
Seriously, to the person who wrote “4 dislikes??? Are you gay and have your thumb DOWN because it is UP your bum?”
seriously, did you even think about what you were saying? ha
@uppanadam74 (sorry 13 versus…)
LOL…The Man From Snowy River was written in the 1800′s for all you generation peeps out there…noone knows if Banjo Patterson based his poes on real live ppl…but it is at least one thing that is Australian culture and part of Australia as far as we know…and yes I know the poem has 14 versus!!
4 dislikes??? Are you gay and have your thumb down because it is up your bum?
@XenaGem i meant “myth” in the anthropological ir psychological sense of the word
@maggijude it aint a myth
