Every family has a story to tell - and when a family continues its traditions over several generations, the story only gains in richness and complexity. Inheritance can prove to be a privilege or a burden, and often both.
ABC Television's landmark DYNASTIES series tapped into a rich vein of family stories, and these are now told in REMARKABLE AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES. From the Macarthurs to the Murdochs, the Duracks to the Downers; the Myers, De Bortolis, Kidmans and many others, the stories of these families have become part of our national folklore. In this fascinating and insightful book, the families' traditions, private motivations and ongoing influences are examined, revealing how the interests of these remarkable families have shaped not only the lives of family members, but Australia itself.
