A beautifully illustrated hardback that celebrates the life of the man they called 'the cattle king', Australia's greatest ever rural entrepreneur.
In the late 19th century, 13-year-old Sidney Kidman left home on a horse to make his fortune; over the next 50 years - and with single-minded determination - he would create a pastoral empire the size of France - the largest privately controlled pastoral empire the world has ever known.
He built this empire in the three rivers area of central Australia. He bought up holdings and established a system of seasonal droving, which could hold out against the drought and deliver well-fed livestock to the markets of southern Australia.
