KIDMAN – The Extraordinary Life of Sir Sidney Kidman
This book documents the life and times of Sir Sidney Kidman. As a barely literate youth of thirteen, Sidney Kidman ran away from home and worked as an odd-job boy in a grog shanty in outback Australia. He went on to become the greatest pastoral landholders in modern history.
With a collection of rare photographs, original documents and newspaper cuttings, this unique book captures the spirit and character of one of Australia’s outback legends.
“An epic is contained within these beautifully crafted pages. A story Australia needs to remember. As much a part of our mythology as any character in Lawson or Banjo Patterson.” Phillip Adams AO
