Every summer he would waltz Matilda across the dusty outback, singing to keep his spirits up.

She spent the afternoon waltzing Matilda across the sunlit verandah, her skirts a blur as the fiddler struck up the tune.

At the country dance, my grandparents waltzed Matilda across the creaky floor.

At every reunion, she waltzes Matilda with a nostalgic smile, making older guests hum along.
