The Screen Guide

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 great stretches of Australia. His grand-daughter, Mary Durack, with a profound sense of family history, recreated the saga of the Duracks in her bestseller, KINGS IN GRASS CASTLES.
