question for Aussies : do they use "The band played waltzing matilda" similarly?

I lived in Australia from 10 years old to 12. I somehow picked up that Waltzing Matilda was a sad song about how shitty world war 1 war. And also that the Brits where shit about it, somehow burning through the lives of their allies. Oh yeah, and now the crippled vet's homeless.

I remember someone explained it to me. And other kids. Because Matilda isn't slang for backpack we still used.
