Patsy Millett

Dame Mary Durack Miller was best known for her history of the Durack family, Kings in Grass Castles. Dame Mary was married to aviation pioneer Horrie Miller and was a sibling to the artist Elizabeth Durack.  Durack Miller was a friend and confidante to many celebrated writers, actors and artists.

Drawing on a great accumulation of first-hand sources, principally her mother’s diaries and correspondence, Patsy Millett’s book, Inseparable Elements, is about a well-known family who saw their prospects as blighted.

Written from the unique perspective of someone born into the wash-up of the Durack dynasty, Patsy says her account ‘will be controversial, as the reality behind the generally accepted facts has never been told’.  Patsy Millett spoke to RTRTFM’s Danae Gibson.
