The Overflow of Clancy

The Overflow of Clancy

"The Overflow of Clancy" is a poem written under the pseudonym "H.H.C.C". It was first published in "The Bulletin" magazine on August 20 1892 as part of the Bulletin Debate, a series of poems by Lawson, Paterson, and others, about the true nature of life in the Australian bush.

Colin Roderick, in his biography "Banjo Paterson: Poet by Accident" (1993), states on page 76 that he believes the poem was written by Henry Lawson.

The poem is a parody of Paterson's "Clancy of the Overflow".
