Up on the shores of Lake Maquarie is this fine establishment.
"The barber man was small and flash, as barbers mostly are,
He wore a strike-your-fancy sash, he smoked a huge cigar;
He was a humorist of note and keen at repartee,
He laid the odds and kept a "tote", whatever that may be ..."
A.B 'Banjo' Patterson from
The Man from Ironbark
