   Where did Shiralee come from?

   • A ‘shiralee’ is sometimes said to be an Aboriginal word for ‘burden’, but recent scholarship suggests it’s derived from Irish and was used as a word for a ‘swag’ – the rolled-up bedding carried by Macauley in the film. D’Arcy Niland probably picked it up in the 1930s, when he himself was an itinerant farm labourer during the Depression.
