Summary

Sir Sidney Kidman was an Australian pastoralist who owned large areas of land in Australia. He was born in Adelaide, educated in Norwood and left home at 13 with 5 shillings and a one eyed horse. He joined a drover and made money supplying services. Later with his brothers he bought a station. He went into partnership with various owners and eventually owned a vast network of connected stations stretching from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Flinders Ranges and across to New South Wales. The total value of his company is estimated at A$360 million
