Patrick Durack (1834-1898) and his family, set out from Goulburn in 1867 overland to SW Queensland, overcoming extraordinary hardships to establish several large properties, including Galway Downs, Thylungra and Kyabra stations.

From Thylungra, Durack organised the droving of 7,250 head of breeding cattle and 200 horses on a 4,828km trek, the longest undertaken by Australian drovers up to that time.

The Duracks were responsible for opening up vast new areas of Australia. Patrick and his wife are buried in the Mortis Street Pioneer Cemetery in Goulburn.

A quiet & graceful town...
