Country legend Smoky Dawson dies aged 94

Country music icon Smoky Dawson - the man dubbed Australia's first cowboy - has died after a short illness, aged 94.
A spokeswoman for the Australian Country Music Foundation said Dawson passed away yesterday at 5.15pm in Sydney.
He is survived by his wife Dot.
''He had been ill for the past six days,'' Dee Giles said.
''There will be a private service for family and friends held in Sydney, and that's strictly private because of his wife Dot, who turns 102 this year and she's very frail.
''But there will be a public memorial in a few weeks' time.''
Born Herbert Henry Dawson in Collingwood in 1913 and raised in Warrnambool, Dawson recorded dozens of albums and hosted the radio show The Adventures of Smoky Dawson from 1952 until the early 1960s.
He was elevated to the Country Music Roll of Renown in 1978 and in 1993 the Australian Country Music Foundation was created in Tamworth, citing him as a direct inspiration.
Awarded an MBE in 1978, he was also recognised in the United States with the Honour Award of the Grand Ole Opry.
In 2005 Dawson was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
Philip Mortlock, the managing director of Origin Records, Dawson's record label, said it was time to celebrate the life of an Australian legend.
''It is a very sad day, but I have to say that Smoky brought a lot of joy to a lot of people for many years,'' Mr Mortlock told Sky News.
''While it is a sad day, his passing for me, I think it's time to celebrate a great life and a great man.''
