about

The greatest story ever told, as Banjo Paterson might have told it.

Hear the story of the whole Bible in rhyming verse, with metre and phrases borrowed from some of Australia's most famous bush poems - My Country, Mulga Bill's Bicycle, Waltzing Matilda, Clancy of the Overflow, The Man from Ironbark, Been There Before , Said Hanrahan, The Man from Snowy River, and A Bush Christening.

Poet Will Mackerras recites each poem (and sings one too). In between is some narration provided by Australian actor Michael Gaylard. The text of the poems is available at www.banjobible.com

For $10AUD you can also order a physical CD. Just send a message using the "other inquiries'' button at right. The front cover of the sleeve is the image you see above, printed on brown recycled cardboard. Postage to Australian addresses is $2 per package, with 4 CDs fitting in each package.
