“At the age of thirteen Sidney Kidman ran away from home with only five shillings in his pocket.  He went on to become a horse dealer, drover, cattle buyer and bush jockey and he also ran a coach business.  Above all, Kidman created a mighty cattle empire of more than a hundred stations, fighting droughts, bushfires, floods and plagues of vermin to do so.  His enterprise and courage won him a huge fortune and made him a legend.”
