Andy Page is a fictional character appearing in several well-known short stories written by popular Australian writer and poet Henry Lawson.
Andy is rarely found without the company of good mates Jim Bently and Dave Regan, and is generally the 'straight man' of the trio.
Possibly the most popular Andy Page story would be Lawson's humorous "The Loaded Dog", in which Dave's imaginative idea of fishing with explosives backfires when the cartridge is left unattended.
According to "The Loaded Dog," "Andy would fish for three hours at a stretch if encouraged by a ‘nibble’ or a ‘bite’ now and then— say once in twenty minutes."
Whilst Dave thought up the idea for the explosive fishing cartridge, Andy implemented it.
