Jack Riley
Banjo Paterson believes that Jack Riley was the man from Snowy River. With his great horseback talent, Jack Riley has the man from Snowy River written on his own grave.
Jack lived in isolation in a hut, high up in the hills at Tom Groggin. Jack was buried at the Corryong cemetery on the 16th of July 1914. Jack loved the Country and he very much enjoyed a few social drinks with his mates.
