Swagman

A colloquial Australian term. Same as Hobo in USA. Someone who wanders from place to place working for his tucker, whose possessions fit into his swag (Ofttimes his blanket tied by the corners and slung over his shoulder on a stick) The song Waltzing Matilda was written about a Swagman who stole a sheep, but this is not the norm for the Swagman., He was a traveler, for whatever reason.

Walzting Matilda was a song written about a Swagman who stole a sheep, but, although the most famous reference it certainly was not the norm for the Swagman.
