He was born in Navan, County Meath , Ireland , and was educated at the Christian Brothers at Devonport in England. He arrived in Australia in 1878, and became a freelance journalist and writer in both Melbourne and Sydney . Whilst in Melbourne, he met and became a friend of Marcus Clarke ; later, in Sydney, he became acquainted with Henry Kendall . He is notable for becoming the first author in Australia who tried to earn a living from writing alone. He died at Sydney, of Tuberculosis . He used the Pseudonym Creeve Roe, as well as his own name. His ''Poems'' (1908) and other collections were published posthumously. A memoir of Daley by Bertram Stevens was published in ''Wine and Roses''. Daley serves chiefly as an example of the Celtic Twilight in Australian verse. He also serves as a lyrical alternative to his contemporary bush balladists. BIBLIOGRAPHY
