IN the 19th century, workmen walked the countryside looking for jobs. They carried a pack, or swag, on their backs, and were called 'swagmen' or 'swaggies' for short. This collection includes stories, newspaper reports, poems, songs and many jokes about swaggies. 'Sundowners' were the ones who arrived at sundown, in time for a food handout, and set off early the next day without doing any work!
