Join us to celebrate the historic occasion of Banjo Paterson speaking at Parramatta Town Hall 125 years ago !

Three-times Australian champion bush poet GREGORY NORTH will be presenting the "Life & Rhymes" of Banjo Paterson - an extended version of a show performed by Greg for nine years in Winton - the birthplace of Waltzing Matilda. The show features visuals, facts and poetry - a must for any Banjo Paterson fan.

As well as being Australia's most famous poet, Banjo was a newspaper correspondent at the Boer War in South Africa. From September 1900 to April 1901 he travelled Australia and New Zealand presenting lectures on the war - and made appearances through 56 places, including PARRAMATTA.

The Parramatta Town Hall has been recently renovated as part of the development of the PHIVE Building at Parramatta Square. More information on the history of the Parramatta Town Hall can be viewed here.
