The City Bushman is a poem by iconic Australian writer and poet Henry Lawson. It was first published in The Bulletin magazine on 6 August 1892, under the title In Answer to "Banjo", and Otherwise. It was the fourth work in the Bulletin Debate, a series of poems by both Lawson and Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, and others, about the true nature of life in the Australian bush.[1]
In The City Bushman, Lawson responds to Paterson's poem, In Defence of the Bush, quoting a number of phrases, and criticising each in turn.[2][3]
