An afternoon following Kidman sites from his sarcophagus at Mitcham cemetery; Eringa houses in Unley Park and in Kapunda; the church where he worshipped in Kapunda; the Kidman Gates at Wayville and the Kidman children graves and the Kidman buildings and statue in Kapunda. Sir Sidney Kidman and his story are important as he was so much more than just the cattle king. Extensive notes are provided. After Kapunda we go to the City of Salisbury Hub which has organised a light supper before a panel discussion on the incredible history of Anna Creek Station, the largest cattle station in the world. This special event honours the legacy of Sir Sidney Kidman and the pioneering spirit of the families and stockmen. You will hear firsthand stories from ringers, managers and station wives who lived through the highs and lows of outback life. From droughts and floods these tales will capture the hardships and triumphs that shaped Australia's pastoral heritage. Depart WEA Centre 12:30pm and return about 8pm.
