Kidman’s Way
The Kidman Way, from Jerilderie to the Queensland border, encompasses huge cattle farming plains, historic towns and a wealth of attractions for any traveller.
Not only does this route traverse some of the areas owned by the great Sir Sidney Kidman but it also leads to the Matilda Highway, the main route to north Queensland for southerners, which also crosses many of Kidman’s properties.
This is outback adventure country, with some fairly isolated stretches, along an excellent, sealed road.
