David J. Delaney
“Dave”
David lives in Cairns, far north Queensland, and although he has only been writing since December 2006 David has self-published two “chap books” covering Australian Diggers tributes, bush poetry, and general poetry.
He never had the chance to serve in the military, but David has family, mates and former work colleagues who have. An ex truckie of 25 years (furniture removalist), he and his wife operated their own removal business for 17 of those years. David is branch manager for a vehicle radiator distribution company.
