Thomas Bulch waltz “"Myrine"”. His youngest daughter Alice had her name combined with that of her husband Norman (Johnson) to title a waltz “"Noralla"” and a mazurka using her name as the title, “"Alice Bertha"”. The composition “"Craigielee"” composed by Thomas using the name Godfrey Parker is said to have a connection with the music of “"Waltzing Matilda"”. It has been written that a Christina MacPherson heard it being played at the Warrnambool Races in 1894. She later played it from memory in Queensland and Banjo Paterson put words to it. Thomas was in contact with his wife's grandmother Elizabeth Paterson during
Banjo Paterson and had engaged in a scandalous romantic liaison with Macpherson. Paterson died of a heart attack in Sydney on 5 February 1941 aged 76. Paterson's grave, along with that of his wife, is in the Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium, Sydney. The publication of The Man from Snowy River and five other ballads in "The Bulletin" made 'The Banjo' a household name. In 1895, Angus & Robertson published these poems as a collection of Australian verse. The book sold 5000 copies in the first four months of publication. In 1895, Paterson headed north to Dagworth station near Winton, Queensland.
