Why the name "On the Wallaby"? In 1891, Australian poet Henry Lawson penned a now-famous poem entitled "Freedom on the Wallaby". "On the wallaby track" is an Australian term meaning someone is out wandering and exploring the country.



One of my favourite past-times is driving and exploring with my husband (and my dog). In WikiAnswers, I am constantly "On the wallaby". Passionate about all things Australian, I roam all over WikiAnswers, answering questions that have the remotest connection to Australiana ... and some that don't ... as my interests are far and wide.

Everyone has their own claim to fame. Mine is that Australian author Colin Thiele is/was my second cousin.
