Kidman & Co Pty Ltd Naryilco Staon, Qld Message from Your Chairman Dear team members I hope you are all doing well and I appreciate the wonderful efforts and commitment that you are making including through the drought – rain is, together with you all, the key to life on staons and farms too. We should see a moratorium on all government fees and charges for at least two years to allow people to recover on the land. Of course this is not the first me I have called for red tape and taxes to be reduced, for instance I refer to this in my speech to AmCham in the newsleer, and why this has been so successful in the USA, as making people more able to get on with business and get out of debt, is much beer than loans which push people further into debt, with interest and me consuming reporng obligaons. This year on the 21st of November we will celebrate for the second me, Naonal Agriculture and Related Industries Day, which I received permission from the Federal Government to start last year, – this year the Gala Dinner will be in Sydney CBD – we’ve chartered a boat to float SYDNEY Harbour, and Kidman and Hancock staff are helping to arrange donated aucon items, which can be bidded on whether aending the dinner or not, with proceeds for drought vicms. We are looking forward to the publicaon of the “Things we love“, stories and recipe book, I have been so pleased to read the stories that have been sent in telling why you want to be and love to be graziers or farmers on the land – the recipes look really great too. Staon Cooks as we all know, being so important to staon life. I’ve added a short Christmas secon too, from our Langsview Farm. Hope you’d like to try the stuffing, s rather good! And the tradional desserts, fantasc! Welcome to all of our new staff, I look forward to seeing some of you a bit later this year hopefully on my Christmas carols tour. If you have a Christmas carol, modified for staon life, please send me soon, so we can get this tour organised. All best, Your chairman.

Kidman & Co American Chamber of Commerce in Australia’s (AmCham) 50th Anniversary Gala Dinner, Friday 25 May 2018, Adelaide Thank you April for such a lovely and warm introduction. Good evening Governor Hieu Van Le, Mrs Le, Premier Marshall, Acting US Ambassador James Carouso, our Kidman partner Mr Gui, Minister Canavan, Senator Bernardi, other Members of Parliament, distinguished guests and friends. It is an honour to be here with you tonight to mark AmCham’s 50th anniversary. I am also happy to be back in Adelaide – an area I always enjoy visiting. Can we please start with a very big round of applause for AmCham as they mark their 50-year milestone? This is a memorable weekend in Adelaide as tomorrow night is the sold out celebration of the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s 90th anniversary – a great organisation that does so much for our rural communities. And, can I also acknowledge new South Australian Premier Steven Marshall and Mr Gui who are both in the audience tonight. It is wonderful to welcome you both here. Mr Gui, our Kidman & Co business partner, is also the person who brought AFL football to China for the first time last year and just over a week ago, the second AFL match in China was played. Congratulations to Port Adelaide on your second win in China! As April mentioned, Hancock Prospecting first became a member of AmCham in 1994 and we are delighted to be part of your organisation.

Innamincka Regional Reserve is a park of contrasts. Covering more than 1.3 million hectares of land, ranging from the life-giving wetlands of the Cooper Creek system to the stark arid outback, the reserve also sustains a large commercial beef cattle enterprise, and oil and gas fields. The heritage-listed Innamincka Regional Reserve park headquarters and interpretation centre gives an insight into the natural history of the area, Aboriginal people, European settlement and Australia's most famous explorers, Burke and Wills. From the interpretation centre, visit the sites where Burke and Wills died, and the historic Dig Tree site (QLD) which once played a significant part in their ill-fated expedition. Shaded by the gums, the waterholes provide a relaxing place for a spot of fishing or explore the creek further by canoe or boat. Opening hours Open daily.

  • Innamincka/Cooper Creek State Heritage Area Innamincka/Cooper Creek Was Declared a State Heritage Area on 16 May 1985
    Innamincka/Cooper Creek State Heritage Area Innamincka/Cooper Creek was declared a State Heritage Area on 16 May 1985. HISTORY Innamincka and Cooper Creek have a rich history. The area has also been associated with many other facets of the state's history since colonial settlement. Names such as Charles Sturt, Sidney Kidman, Cordillo Downs, the Australian Inland Mission and the Reverend John Flynn are intrinsically woven into the stories of Innamincka and the Cooper Creek. Its significance for Aboriginal people spans thousands of years as a trade route and a source of abundant food and fresh water. The area's Aboriginal history also includes significant contacts with explorers, pastoralists and settlers. Many sources believe that the name 'Innamincka' comes from two Aboriginal words meaning ' your shelter' or 'your home'. European contact with the region came first with the explorers and later with the establishment of the pastoral industry, transport routes and service centres. Cooper Creek was named by Captain Charles Sturt on 13 October 1845, when he crossed the watercourse at a point approximately 24 kilometres west of the current Innamincka township. The water was very low at the time, hence his use of the term 'creek' rather than 'river' to describe what often becomes a deep torrent of water. Charles Cooper, after whom the waterway was named, was a South Australian judge - later Chief Justice Sir Charles Cooper. On the same expedition, Sturt also named the Strzelecki Desert after the eccentric Polish explorer, Paul Edmund de Strzelecki, who was the first European to climb and name Mount Kosciusko.

The film follows the lives of the Ferguson family, retiring managers of Durham Downs Station, as their home passes on to the next family of employees of S. Kidman and Co., the Station’s pastoral lease-holder. As they end a thirty year association with the property and an at least five generations association with the area, the Fergusons are grieving for the loss of their home and trying to make sense of who they will be without Durham Downs. Running in parallel to the Ferguson’s story is that of the Ebsworth family and the Wangkumarra people. Moved from their traditional home in the 1930s, and having worked for the Station over generations, oil and gas exploration of the land is creating new opportunities for them to relate to their land.
