• The Matilda Myth Australia in the 1890s was in the grip of a bitter labour dispute, threatening to spill over into civil insurrection with arson attacks and running gun battles. In the midst of this turmoil, a swagman was found dead in mysterious circumstances.

This hugely evocative programme tells the story of the dark roots behind Australia's unofficial national anthem.
