The City Bushman

The City Bushman

"The City Bushman" is a poem by iconic Australian writer and poet Henry Lawson. It was first published in "The Bulletin" magazine on August 6 1892, under the title "In Answer to "Banjo", and Otherwise". It was the fourth work in the Bulletin Debate, a series of poems by both Lawson and Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, and others, about the true nature of life in the Australian bush.

In "The City Bushman," Lawson responds to Paterson's poem, "In Defense of the Bush", quoting a number of phrases, and criticising each in turn.
