On 29 March 1901, Banjo Paterson presented a lecture on the Boer War in Armidale. Beyond his fame as Australia’s greatest poet, Banjo was also a newspaper correspondent during the Boer War in South Africa. From September 1900 to April 1901, he toured Australia and New Zealand delivering lectures on the war, appearing in 56 locations, including Armidale.
