'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.
