  • "The Geebung Polo Club" is a poem by Banjo Paterson, first published in The Antipodean in 1893. It was also included in his first anthology of bush poetry The Man from Snowy River and Other Verses in 1895. It is one of Paterson's best-known poems and combines several of the most frequently recurring characteristics of his poetry - humour, tragedy and horses. The poem's unnamed narrator clearly admires the rough and ready "Geebung Polo Club", who are contrasted with their wealthy city opponents - "The Cuff and Collar Team". The only geographic reference in the poem is of the Campaspe River, which flows north through central Victoria to the Murray River. Scottish-Australian bush poet, and acquaintance of Paterson, Will H. Ogilvie penned For the honor of Old England and the glory of the game in 1897. Although similar in nature to Paterson's earlier-written The Geebung Polo Club, Ogilvie's work was written after an actual polo competition in Parkes, New South Wales, involving Harry 'Breaker' Morant and Ogilvie.
