Hi Capt'n :
According to his book "Songs from the Canefields", Dan Sheahan came from Dalwogan, Ireland to Australia, in 1905.
He fought for Australia in WW1 and marched in the Anzac Day parades until he was about 93 years of age.
He wrote many poems and his "A Pub Without Beer" was published in FNQ (Far North Queensland) in 1944.
(BTW, the Gordon Parsons' song "The Pub With No Beer" was dated 1958.)


White Australia is still a relatively young country (!), and many's the person to proudly claim two nationalities!!


Cheers! R-J
