Kidman, Sir Sidney

Kidman, Sir Sidney,

1857–1935, Australian stockman, b. near Adelaide. He worked as a stockman and a drover in the outback of New South Wales before he began a business carting supplies to miners during the mining boom of the late 19th cent. He and his brother Sackville soon acquired other businesses, including cattle stations (ranches); after Sackville died (1899), Sidney continued the business as S. Kidman & Co. He eventually acquired 68 stations, with enormous herds of cattle and sheep. In 1904, when his holdings reached their greatest extent (c.115,000 sq mi/300,000 sq km), Kidman was known as the largest landowner in the British Empire. He was knighted in 1921 for his contributions to Australia during World War I.
