The Road to Gundagaiby Andrew Barton 'Banjo' Paterson Australian writer There are over 30 old bush songs and poems about Gundagai. This poem should not be confused with the old bush song by Jack O'Hagan Along the Road to Gundagai. We also have on our website Nine Miles from Gundagai, Five Miles From Gundagai and Flash Jack From Gundagai.
The mountain road goes up and down Across the plains and ranges grey It came by chance one day that I And reached about the evening tide And, waiting at the crossing place, With eyes of deepest violet blue, The fairest maids Australia knows Then, fearing I might go astray, Her voice might well a man bewitch – "The tracks are clear," she made reply, Then slowly, looking coyly back, And I for one was well content But round the turn a swain she met – I turned and travelled with a sigh
