That'd have to be the "Banjo," whose real name was Andrew Barton Paterson. He adopted the pen name "Banjo" from a racehorse owned by his family, and it's under that name he became one of Australia's most iconic bush poets.

Banjo Paterson worked as a journalist for several prominent Australian publications:
  • 📰 The Bulletin: He began publishing poetry here under the pseudonym "The Banjo" in the late 1880s, becoming a key figure in the Bulletin School of Australian literature.
  • 🗞️ Sydney Morning Herald and The Age: Paterson served as a war correspondent during the Second Boer War and the Boxer Rebellion.
  • 🖋️ Sydney Evening News: He was editor from 1904 to 1906.
  • 📜 Town and Country Journal: He edited this publication from 1907 to 1908.

After 1908, he shifted toward full-time writing while living on a property near Yass, New South Wales. His journalism career was deeply intertwined with his poetic work, often drawing on his bush upbringing and wartime experiences.
