[edit] original poem - I recall differently
I remember learning about the poems inspiring the monument. However, the version I remember is that the original Bowyang Yorke poem (already a tale of woe and bad luck), did not have the dog protecting his masters lunch as everything else went wrong..."And the dog sat on the tuckerbox Nine miles from Gundagai". Instead, the dog decided to add to Bill the Bullocky's problems by adding a "h" to "sat" and 'relieving' himself on the tuckerbox. If I can ever find a published source to back this up, I'll add it it, but I thought I'd mention it here as a heads up... in case anyone else has seen this version of the story. -- saberwyn 03:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
