Kidman Way is a state rural road in the western Riverina and western region of New South Wales, Australia. The 643-kilometre (400 mi) highway services the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area and outback communities and links the Newell Highway with the Sturt, Mid-Western, Barrier, Mitchell and Kamilaroi highways. The road is designated route B87 for its entire length, with its northern terminus at Bourke and its southern terminus just north of Jerilderie. Kidman Way is fully sealed and is accessible by two or four-wheel drive.
Kidman Way draws its history from the stock routes that linked cattle stations in the region, many of which were owned by Sir Sidney Kidman, an Australian pastoralist and philanthropist.[4]
