The bush ballad, bush song or bush poem is a style of poetry and folk music that describes the life, character and scenery of the Australian bush.
Bush ballads usually have a simple rhyme structure.
They can be funny or sad.
The words used are colourful, colloquial and Australian.
They tell stories of action and adventure about bushranging, droving, droughts, floods, life on the frontier, and relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
The first ballads were created by British and Irish settlers and convicts who brought with them the folk music of their homelands.
They were usually not written down, but passed around verbally.
The ballads grew into a unique style over the years, becoming very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Australians thought they were "an authentic expression of the national spirit".
Through bush poetry, newspapers and magazines, like The Bulletin,  promoted mateship, egalitarianism, anti-authoritarianism and a concern for the "battler" as being ideal Australian values.
Bush ballads are not as popular in modern times, but the poems written up to Federation are still some of the best-known and loved poems in Australia.
The "bush bards" such as Henry Lawson and Banjo Paterson are regarded as giants of Australian literature.
Clubs and festivals devoted to bush poetry can be found throughout the country, and the tradition lives on in Australian country music.
The songs tell personal stories of life in Australia.
The stories can include mining, raising and droving cattle, sheep shearing, wanderings, war stories, the 1891 Australian shearers' strike, conflict between the working poor and the rich farmers (squatters), bushrangers such as Ned Kelly, as well as love, and more modern themes such as trucking.
Although not technically bush ballads, there are also numerous sea shanties.
These were sung by whalers and sailors, as well as songs about the voyage made by convicts and other immigrants from England to Australia.
Modern musical styles for the ballads are different, even though the content is similar.
Good examples of the older, traditional ballad style include Slim Dusty's When the Rain Tumbles Down in July or Leave Him in the Long yard.
These have strong story lines in the verses, with choruses set to a Pick n' Strum beat.
Modern bush ballads may use finger picking and strumming rock styles.
There was also a hymn singing tradition brought by missionaries in the 19th century.
The beginnings of Australia's bush music come from the songs sung by the convicts who were sent to Australia from 1788.
They tell of the harsh life of the time, and of people and events including bushrangers, swagmen, drovers, stockmen and shearers.
Convict and bushranger verses often complained about the governments misuse of power.
Examples include ballads like: The Wild Colonial Boy, Click Go The Shears, The Eumeralla Shore, The Drover's Dream, The Queensland Drover, The Dying Stockman and Moreton Bay.
Later bush ballads told stories of war, droughts, floods, Aboriginality, railways and roads.
They often tell of the difficulties and struggles for the working poor people.
The bush ballads are often ironic and humorous, for example Beautiful Land of Australia.
They were an oral and folkloric tradition, and only later published in print, such as Banjo Paterson's Old Bush Songs, in the 1890s.
The lyrics for "Waltzing Matilda", often regarded as Australia's unofficial national anthem, were written by Banjo Paterson in 1895.
This type of Australian country music, with lyrics focusing on strictly Australian subjects, is generally known as "bush music" or "bush band music".
The ballads continued in Australia long after popular music took hold in Great Britain.
The ballad style in rural England began dying out when land clearances, industrialisation and urbanization saw people moving from the farms into the cities.
English popular music began in the working-class music halls during the 1830s and 1840s.
Australia, which still had a large rural population, popular music was started a lot later.
As early as the 1920s, the different ethnic groups in Asutralia influenced the ballads.
Poncie Cubillo introduced the rondalla with their Filipino string band in Darwin.
The ballad tradition has grown to include some of these influences including Chinese and Filipino.
There were also the Italians growing tobacco, the de Bortoli family, in "Texas in Queensland", adding to the mix of folk tunes and Tex Morton's hillbilly tunes.
Morton, a country music singer from New Zealand, made a number of Australian-themed recordings between 1936 and 1943.
These included the "Dying Duffer's Prayer," "Murrumbridgee Jack," "Billy Brink The Shearer," "Stockman's Last Bed," "Wrap Me Up in My Stockwhip and Blanket," "Rocky Ned (The Outlaw)," and "Ned Kelly Song".
While these are a part of the bush ballad tradition, Morton sang without an Australian accent and used yodeling like the American singer Jimmie Rodgers.
American cowboy and country songs and 1950s rock 'n' roll influenced Australian bush ballads.
With increased modern communications, bush ballads share the modern Australian music scene with rockabilly, country music, blues, Texas swing, bluegrass, trail songs, and country pop.
Country and folk musicians including Slim Dusty, Stan Coster, Rolf Harris, The Bushwackers, John Williamson, Graeme Connors and John Schumann of the band Redgum, still record the old bush ballads.
Contemporary artists including Sara Storer and Lee Kernaghan draw heavily on this heritage.
Ashley Cook, a contemporary balladeer, sings about topics relevant to life in agriculture and mining work in Australia's outback: Cattle, Dust and Leather and Blue Queensland Dogs.
His song "Road to Kakadu" is about killing water buffalo in Northern Territory in the 1990s to control the Brucellosis disease.
Beneath the Queensland Moon covers the life and death as a drover.
Public opinions
The bush ballad style is sometimes seen as unsophisticated and simple.
This is because it uses cliched images and stereotypes.
The bush ballads have influenced Australian theatre and movies.
Since the mid-20th century, bush songs have often been performed by bush bands, such as The Bandicoots or Franklyn B Paverty.
A number of awards have been set up to recognize bush balladeers.
Jeff Brown was nominated for a Golden Guitar Award in the Bush Ballad of the Year category for a song he recorded In the wings of the yard in 2008.
He said it was "...important to keep the old yarns alive through country music ballads.
It's our heritage really and it needs to be kept alive somehow and the old bush ballads are the way to do it."
Past winners of the Country Music Awards Australia Bush Ballad of the Year include Anne Kirkpatrick and Joy McKean.
The Stan Coster Memorial Bush Ballad Award has several categories.
In 2007 Reg Poole was male vocalist of the year for ‘A Tribute To Slim’, Graham Rodger was Songwriter of the Year for ‘The Battle Of Long Tan’, and Dean Perrett for Album of the Year for ‘New Tradition’ The magazine, the Balladeers Bulletin magazine also hold a "Bush Balladeer Starquest" competition.
At the 2008 36th Country Music Awards of Australia held in Tamworth, Amos Morris became the youngest artist ever to win the Golden Guitar trophy for the Bush Ballad of the Year category with Sign of the Times.

Suresh Kumar Raina (born 27 November 1986) is an Indian professional cricketer.
An aggressive left-handed middle-order batsman and an occasional off-spin bowler, he is considered as one of the best fielders in world cricket.
He plays for Uttar Pradesh in all forms of domestic cricket.
He is the captain of Gujarat Lions in the Indian Premier League, and was the vice-captain of the Chennai Super Kings.
He has also captained the Indian cricket team and is the second-youngest player ever to captain India.
He is the first of the three Indian batsmen to ever score a century in all three formats of international cricket.
Raina made his ODI debut in July 2005 against Sri Lanka at the age of 19.
However, his Test debut came about five years later, in July 2010, against the same opposition.
He scored a hundred on his Test debut.
He was a part of the Indian squad that won the 2011 World Cup, Captained team Uttar Pradesh, India (on several occasions), India – A, Gujarat Lions and Chennai Super Kings (3 matches).
He lives in Rajnagar, a town in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
He has three older brothers Dinesh Raina, Naresh Raina and Mukesh Raina and one elder sister Renu.
An article by Suresh Raina was featured in the 2012 book Rahul Dravid: Timeless Steel.
In 2000, Raina decided to play cricket and subsequently moved from his hometown Muradnagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh (near New Delhi) to Lucknow, to attend the Guru Gobind Singh Sports College, Lucknow.
He rose to become the captain of the Uttar Pradesh U-16s and came to prominence amongst Indian selectors in 2002, when he was selected at the age of 15 and a half years for the U-19 tour to England, where he made a pair of half-centuries in the U-19 Test matches.
He toured Sri Lanka later that year with the U-17 team.
He made his Ranji Trophy debut for Uttar Pradesh against Assam in February 2003 at the age of 16, but did not play another match until the following season.
In late 2003, he toured Pakistan for the U-19 Asian ODI Championship before being selected for the 2004 U-19 World Cup, where he scored three half-centuries, including a 90 scored off only 38 balls.
He was then awarded a Border-Gavaskar scholarship to train at the Australian Cricket Academy and in early 2005, he made his first-class limited overs debut, and scored 645 runs that season at an average of 53.75.
Raina was on the bench through the first half of the 2011 Cricket World Cup as captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni instead went with the in-form Yusuf Pathan.
This remained so until the group game against West Indies, which Raina played in place of an injured Virender Sehwag.
Against defending champions Australia in the quarter-final, Dhoni made a strategic change, omitting Yusuf Pathan in favour of Raina.
Raina responded by assisting Yuvraj Singh in a successful run chase through high pressure, making 34 from 28 balls to carry India to victory.
In the semi-final against Pakistan, he batted with tailenders to score an unbeaten 36, a significant contribution to India's final tally of 260.
He also took Younis Khan's catch off of Yuvraj's bowling.
Suresh Raina played some crucial knocks in quarter-final and semi-final of the World Cup, which helped India to win the 2011 ICC Cricket WorldCup.
Gary Kirsten, the then coach of India, said 'Raina won the World Cup for us with some crucial knocks'.
Captaincy and 2011 West Indies tour
India toured West Indies after the World Cup with captain MS Dhoni rested and vice-captain Virender Sehwag injured.
Gautam Gambhir was named the captain for the One-dayers and T20's with Raina as his deputy.
But due to injury Gambhir was ruled out, with Raina captaining with Harbhajan as his deputy.
India won the series, but Raina averaged just 16.4.
In the Test matches, he scored 232 runs at the average of 46.4 scoring crucial fifties in each Test.
His captaincy was highly appreciated by former west-Indian legends.
2012 Tour of Sri Lanka
In the first ODI, Raina played an attacking 45 ball, 50-run knock to help India reach 314.
They eventually won the match by 21 runs on 21 July 2012.
