'Cattle Kings' ye call us, then we are Kings in grass castles that may be blown away upon a puff of wind... - Patrick Durack, 1878 When Patrick Durack left Western Ireland for Australia in 1853, he was to found a dynasty of pioneers, and build an empire of cattle-land across the great stretches of Australia. His grand-daughter, Mary Durack, with a profound sense of family history, has rebuilt the saga of the Duracks, a saga that is the story of Australia itself, huge, pioneering, and tremendous in concept.
