By 1892 the Caryapundy Station was in the hands of Sidney Kidman who moved 10,000 sheep and 1,000 head of cattle from the station, still owned by the Kidman Brothers in 1899, Sidney Kidman described it as one of the worst in New South Wales, the 54200 acres might carry 230 cattle but no more, much of it is a claypan that will never carry feed.
