“This is the thrilling true story of Sir Sidney Kidman who ran away from home when he was thirteen on a one-eyed horse and with only five shillings in his pocket.
He fought droughts, bushfires, floods, rats and rabbits, and he built up a mighty cattle empire of more than a hundred stations in outback Australia.  His story is an inspiration to all who have courage and faith in themselves.”
