Henry Lawson

“ Where the local spirit hungers for each 'saxpence' that we earn —
We can stand it for a season, for our world is growing wide,
And they all are friends and strangers who belong to Sydney-Side.
'T'other-siders! T'other-siders!' Yet we wake the dusty dead;
It is we that send the backward province fifty years ahead;
We it is that 'trim' Australia — making narrow country wide —
Yet we're always T'other-siders till we sail for Sydney-side.
