Patsy Millett, drawing on family records and historical research, charts the Duracks’ journey from early settlement in 1852 through to 1950, capturing their role in developing the pastoral industry, their encounters with Aboriginal communities, and the shaping of Argyle Downs. Illustrated with historical photographs, maps, and portraits, this book serves as both a family biography and a regional history. Why You’ll Love ItIdeal for readers of Kimberley history, Australian pioneering stories, or those interested in the legacy of the Durack family (including Mary Durack, author of Kings in Grass Castles). Millett’s work is accessible and informative—an excellent introduction or complement to deeper studies of the Australian frontier.
