The Kidman Way is an important highway in New South Wales. It is named after Sir Sidney Kidman, the Australian cattle baron, who owned a large number of cattle stations along the path, many still owned by his descendants. It is an important route and runs almost 800 km through outback New South Wales.

The Kidman Way officially starts just outside Jerilderie, which is 35 km north of Finley on the Newell Highway. From Jerilderie, The Kidman Way heads north through the lush Riverina area towards Griffith, passing through the small towns of Coleambally and Darlington Point, where there are some picnic areas beside the Murrumbidgee River. Griffith is a large regional centre, in the heart of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area, surrounded by vineyards , orchards and ricefields.

From Griffith, The Kidman Way heads north for about 370 km through the vast, open western plains to Cobar. This is where the outback begins, with many kangaroos and emus and giant tumbleweeds rolling across the roads. The first 100 or so kilometres from the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area are still fairly green, passing through towns such as Goolgowi and Merriwagga. Hillston is the next town along The Kidman Way.

The stretch between Hillston and Cobar is long, straight and unbroken, except for the village of Mount Hope. There are no fuel stations between Hillston and Cobar. The Kidman Way continues 160 km through semi-arid woodlands on to Cobar, once famous for copper. From then on the road proceeds to Bourke and Barringun, where the The Kidman Way officially ends.

The road then continues further North through western Queensland to reach Normanton on the Gulf of Carpentaria.
