Kings In Grass Castles By: Mary Durack

Author: Mary Durack

‘The best saga of pastoral Australia ever published… hard to describe without superlatives… in a hundred years the book will still be a classic.’ Meanjin
Description of book

‘… far better than any novel; an incomparable record of a greart family and of a series of great actions.’ The Bulletin

When Patrick Durack left Western Ireland for Australia in 1853, he was to found a pioneering dynasty and build a cattle empire across the great stretches of Australia.

With a profound sense of family history, his grand-daughter, Mary Durack reconstructed the Durack saga – a story of intrepid men and ground-breaking adventure.

This sweeping tale of Australia and Australians remains a classic nearly fifty years on.
