Summary

"'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 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.

Australian History

I am English but live in Australia. I love to read or listen to Australian history.
I seldom give up on a book but this must have been the most boring book I have ever listened to.
So many people and names, I lost track.
Descriptions of amounts of foods, money and other items were totally irrelevant. The basic story was good and the narrator was excellent but so much boring filling, I had to give up!
