TERMS USED IN AUSTRALIA

"Bushranger" instance of
Australian slang-is a curious case of
verbal degradation. From an etymo-
logical point of view there is no rea-
son why bushranger should not be as
respectable a word as parkranger. In
the early. Australian newspapers such
advertisements as Wanted, good
bushranger," were quite common. The
word then meant an experienced bush
man. But when the bush became the
refuge of robbers of banks, mail coach
es and lucky diggers, the word ac-
quired the sinister meaning that it now
possesses-br igand, outlaw, desperado.
A "swagman" or 'swaggie" $50
called from the "swag,' or personal
luggage wrapped up in blanket
strapped to his back is a genuine
Australian traveller in search of work,
but "sundowner" is the antipodean
professional tramp. The "sundowner'
strols from one squatter's station to
another, always taking care to arrive

tice of Australian squatters to give
food and shelter to all corners for the
