Valerie Dawson has been writing poems and songs for 30 years, and giving them voice with music teacher Doreen Cobin. Valerie is born of pioneering stock and her odes resonate with her love of Queensland and respect for the armed forces who served in the great wars. She's got 11 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and made 15 songs on CD. She gives her songs freely to both the State tourism and the British Royal family.
