Unveiled by Ian ‘Macca” McNamara AM

17th February 2021.


A bronze sculpture of beloved Australian poet is the latest drawcard outside the museum dedicated to his life story in Yeoval.

The 2.7 metre-high bronze by Melbourne artist Paul Smits was unveiled at a special event on 17 February – Banjo’s birthday.

Dressed in his uniform as Major of the Allied Remounts in Egypt, the features are copied from a pencil sketch of Paterson whilst in the desert during WW1 that was drawn by renowned War Artist George Lambert.

Yeoval is the childhood hometown of Banjo Paterson and the sculpture will be placed at the front of the Banjo Paterson Museum facing the main street.
