The Man from Ironbark 

I love Australia, the humour, the mateship and the piss taking.. this song explains Australians to a tee.. ❤️

I bought this "The Pioneers Album" when I was a 16 year old from a record bar in the sunny town of Bunderberg, I'm 53 now and I still love it. and all the other marvellous poems put to music on it.

I remember my mum playing this song over and over when it came out!

Wallace and Matilda have managed to capture the passion of AB like nothing before or since. I know they have spent 30 years or so teaching kids the stories of AB and the country is better for it. To remember a poem, all I have to do is conjure up the rhythm of the boys and away I go.

Great stuff, if my barber tried to cut my throat I'd never go to him again. I'd go somewhere else.

I live in a town called Ironbank, near Adelaide... One of the most common comments I get about it (aside from "where on earth's Ironbank??") is "Isn't that where that man's from in that poem?" Ah, that would be a no. The man's from IronbaRk. I am from IronbaNk. I don't particularly want to be remembered by an unkempt ruffian... ... However, as all of Banjo Patterson's works, very good. Not my favourite, but that's probably just because I'm from Ironbank.

Thanks, Wallis and Matilda. You are broadening my education by a long country mile. Never heard of you last week, though I've long been a fan of Banjo Paterson. Now I can't get enough of you! "Go raibh maith agaibha chairde" which is Irish for "good on yer, mates!"

One of the most underrated bands in Australia & have been for 20 years...

Thank you, terrific. Looks like one of the gilded youths could be Tom Burlinson...

i love this whole pioneer album!

Ripper song, I used to have a book as a kid with all these poems & The man from Ironbark was my faviorite, great stuff thanks for uploading this, cheers.

I love the poem and this song for it .. However, 'his dexter eyelid' is the right eye NOT the left or sinister side indicated by the barber in this clip.

Bloody good you blokes,love your stuff.

I love the poem and I haven't heard it sung or recited better........

Ironbark is now an integrated suburb of Ipswich in Queensland

Right Now My school is changing this poem into a narrative! So this looks pretty cool.

bloody great!! got this album on vinyl love it!

That cheered me up no end. thanks guys

Love it....

this really helps with my English assignment thank you

Still good!.

This rocks. Can you upload some of your other clips.

Too many of today's teenage boys are "gilded youths"

u are the best

One of Banjo's best.

We have to do school work on this and I hate you for it.

this makes me scared to go to a BARBER

You forgot to shave his beard off!

I don't know

I've always loved the poem but this is way too fast.

nnb

This video has such bad quality

Soooooo wired

What an abysmal aberration of Banjo's great poem. I thought what you did to Clancy of the Overflow was bad enough, but this is truly dreadful.

Wierd

No loitering

Dang dude awesome guitar playing and singing
