Hi! I will try to watch this video and a movie about Sidney Kidman, "Kidman - The Cattle King", is very hard for me watch it completly in english, it is hard to understand with may very basic english, when the voice speak slowly is easier for me.
In the last years I was very interested in Américan Cowboys Culture , in one point, because it was in our childhood in Argentina, beause de moviés and the TV series, we grew up watching that stories of hard and brave people fighting aganist the giant and wild territory and the other people, usually Indian People, but also other european people.
Anyway I apreciate the courage and determination of that people, something that evidently also Happen in other places like Australia, South Africa, New Zaeland and my country Argentina. Here we have very similar weather and landscape conditions with Australia, in our farms we have "Australian Tanqs" of tin pieces (a corrugated sheet) to have water in the pampa tipical establishments (find it in internet "Tanque australiano)
All that people share mor or less the same devices, the same tecnology, in base of the horse, the guns and ususal things.
I guess that the concience of how harde is the life of man against the force, the power and the rules of nature was mainly forgotten for the today men, and I find very interesting to try to study and learn somting surely good of all of them.
Best wishes from Argentina

2:39 - "when severe drought hit the central west...". The central west is actually centred around Orange and Bathurst, not Broken Hill.

I wonder if Kidman was alive today, what would be his thoughts be on todays world where Gov overreach is everywhere, stifling entrepreneural enterprises. That overreach began in the 1990's.
