Stone causeway at Kynuna.

Kynuna is in the heartland of Waltzing Matilda country - and you can learn the enthralling story behind Australia's national song while visiting this tiny town.

Visit the waterhole where in 1894 Samuel Hoffmeister committed suicide. This event became enshrined in Australian folk history when Banjo Paterson wrote "Waltzing Matilda".

Also have a drink in the famous Blue Heeler Hotel, a pub that is more than a century old and saw some of the action when the legend of Waltzing Matilda began.
