Is it true that there is an Australian law which allows waltzing only if your partner's name is Matilda?

You can waltz only with Matildas.Is it true that there is an Australian law which allows waltzing only if your partner's name is Matilda?
I have never once in my life met a girl named Matilda.


Not even an Australian one.Is it true that there is an Australian law which allows waltzing only if your partner's name is Matilda?
True, but because there are not many Matildas anymore, compared to Britneys, Kylies and Madonnas; the waltz is almost extinct, like swagmen, troopers, and squatters.
not sure, but they do still ask if you've ever been convicted of a crime before you enter australia... i didn't know that was still mandatory to enter australia.... :)
what, some laws, or some matildas, require you to jump into a billabong?





i've never had a problem as my name is matilda. it's a shame when we get those international ballroom dancing comps in australia, the competition is never really fair - only australians named matilda are allowed to dance...
Only if your partner's name is Matilda AND only if your partner is a sheep.
Yes! Here's the law in full:


Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,


Under the shade of a coolibah tree,


And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled


';Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?';





Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';


And he sang as he as he watched and waited 'til his billy boiled,


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';.





Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,


Up got the swagman and grabbed him with glee,


And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';.





Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';


And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';.





Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,


Up came the troopers, one, two, three,


';Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?';


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';.





Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';


';Who's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?';,


';You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me';.





Up got the swaggy and jumped into the billabong,


';You'll never catch me alive,'; said he,


And his ghost may be heard as you passed by that billabong,


';Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?';





Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda


Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me


And his ghost may be heard as you passed by that billabong,


';Who'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me?';
no


what benefit would that be to the Australians
lol no.
Waltz
Yeah, that's why I gave up waltzing %26amp; took up doing the roo-trot (apologies to my cousin, Brer Fox) instead.
I'd believe it, we're the most powerful country in the world and look at some of the STUPID laws we have over here
What if you have a piece of corregated iron??
No, not true.The song was writen a man named Banjo Paterson in 1895 and became Australia's most well liked, and sang tune.
Definitely. I love how you are so informative about Australia. We pay people very big money here to promote our Country.
I Doubt It.
