I really don't think [The] Geebung Polo Club belongs up there with those other three. Removing...--Eric TF Bat 04:58, 23 January 2007 (UTC) .

Matilda
I Heard this performed many years ago by an Australian who explained the Matilda as a blanket/bedroll which when rolled and tied about the middle had a somewhat womanly shape. Saxophobia 12:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Buckinbah
In the article about Banjo Paterson the article reads that his younger life was spent on the isolated buckinbah property at monaro. This is not correct. His parents were living at Buckinbah station at Yeoval (not Monaro)when he was born in Orange. At the age of about 6 years the family moved south somewhere near Yass which I think is the Monaro region. I have included an address that might help to confirm this and allow the necessary changes to be made. www.artsoutwest.org.au/about/central_west.php As am new to Wikipedia, I am not sure if this is the correct place to add this information.

Buckinbah Station
Buckinbah Station is not in the Monaro district and is not isolated. It is in fact adjacent to the town of Yeoval in Central West NSW near Wellington. There is now a Banjo Paterson outdoor feature in the town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.171.42.163 (talk) 04:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 30 April 2013
To whom it may concern There are a couple of things in this article I am questioning. Banjo Paterson stayed at Buckinbar Homestead not on the Monaro, it is at Yeoval in the Central Western NSW. My wife's family are related to Banjo Paterson and they are very sure that their Barton's are Irish. Edmund Barton was English. Can you please check this. Thankyou.

Confirmation of cause of death
"Paterson died of a heart attack" - I haven't been able to verify this cause - is it possible to have reference to the cause sourced? Daniel Mee 02:19, 19 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielmee (talk • contribs)

Fix the typo in the sentence "In 1983 a rendition of 'Waltzing Matilida' by country-and-western singer Slim Dusty was the first song broadcast by astronauts to Earth" (delete the second i in Matilida). 188.230.177.175 (talk) 10:42, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Australian-born Rose Isabella Barton,[3] IS NOT related to the future first Prime Minister of Australia Edmund Barton.

The Barton family tree (3 books going back to 1500s in private collection) has no links to the first prime minister. Discovered after I named my son Edmund Barton (2011) only to discover that there is no link, but happily found we are related to Banjo Paterson! 2001:8003:34B9:F600:4D15:9B19:79E:B76 (talk) 06:28, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

Suggested changes
Fellow editors. As this is a semi-protected article, I thought it wise to flag some proposed changes. Under the Legacy Section, I propose a) having the banknote and postage stamp information in one paragraph; b) having the information about the two schools in one paragraph; and c) deleting the Wooden Diesel information - it is unsourced and also arguably not of importance. I also propose another Section, under the title Writing Awards. The content will be something lie: The work of BP is commemorated in writing awards linked with the annual Orange Festival of Arts, in particular the now defunct National Book Council Banjo Awards and the Banjo Paterson Writing Award, commencing in 1991. Please let me know if you think the above is not appropriate. Research17 (talk) 10:23, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It all sounds quite reasonable. Certainly the wooden diesel boat content can go. Although there is a Banjo Paterson Lake at Carrum Downs, so maybe there's a boat to go on the lake, but nothing I could find a citation to support. Kerry (talk) 11:34, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
