A work of Australian family and social history, Railways and Pastures: The Australian O'Keefes chronicles the pioneering contributions of the O'Keefe family against the backdrop of colonial and post-colonial Australia. Mary Nanette Healy presents a tribute to a family whose story is interwoven with the development of the nation's railways and pastoral industries — two pillars of Australian economic and social identity. Written with warmth and reverence, the narrative details the hardships, ambitions, and achievements of successive generations who helped shape the Australian landscape. Drawing on genealogical research and historical records, Healy illustrates how the O'Keefes embody the broader spirit of Australian pioneering, making this an invaluable resource for those interested in family history, colonial settlement, and the making of modern Australia.
