Il est connu pour jouer dans les clubs d'anciens combattants Returned and Services League of Australia à travers le pays, il est devenu une icône que l'on appelle pour honorer la musique australienne lors d'événements nationaux.

Sa première chanson en 1970, Old Man Emu, est devenue no 1 et disque d'or. Un autre de ses classiques, Mallee Boy, est devenu triple platine et lui a valu un Aria Award.
Williamson a également joué dans un certain nombre de séries télévisées telles que This is Your Life.
