"Kings in Grass Castles is the story of the Duracks, who, led on daunting treks across the vast Australian wilderness by the commanding and courageous Patsy, carved out an empire from the frontier lands of the North.  Lured by 'the undying optimism that drives the seeker of gold or land', they explored and claimed the land around Cooper's Creek and later the Kimberleys."
