Homonym: Swagman (Traveler)
A "Swagman" is a term used in Australia to describe a transient worker or traveler, often associated with the itinerant lifestyle of those who travel on foot or by vehicle. Traditionally, swagmen carried a "swag," which is a bedroll or bundle containing their belongings, and they would often camp outdoors while seeking work, particularly in rural areas.
The image of the swagman is deeply rooted in Australian culture, often romanticized in songs and literature. One famous example is the song "Waltzing Matilda," which tells the story of a swagman and reflects themes of freedom and the Australian landscape. The swagman symbolizes the spirit of adventure and resilience in the face of hardship.
