I just like history... Australian history is very young compared to the rest of the world and we have sure crammed a lot into our 216 years! Australian people have always loved the underdog and the outlaw... Peter Lalor, Breaker Morant, Ronald Ryan, even Chopper Read to an extent. Ned Kelly to me, represents this in an amazing way!

He was in the shit up to his neck (literally) because he fought for justice for his family and friends and it is indeed a rare compliment these days to be called 'Game as Ned Kelly!'
 Unofficial heavyweight champ of the Northeast, Son of an Irishman and dedicated to his loved ones. Yes... Ned Kelly.
When Ned was taken by Police at Glenrowan, I wonder why the sympathizers didn't rush the Cops and rescue him and the boys?

 


While there is quite a few decent websites and books on Ned Kelly and other Bushrangers, There is also a LOT of rubbish.
Being interested in Ned Kelly and his gang or being classed as a 'sympathizer' or even a bloody 'Historian', comes from within..
My sole objective of this website is for visitors to see that The Kelly's were victims of inept Policing
And because of that, Police and innocents died. 
Forget rubbish like Ned Kelly the movie, Peter Carey's book...
Buy some books, look at some of the links to other Kelly websites and perhaps one day, The Boys will again ride free.

Under the skin...It was a great idea at the time!... Then again, 
So were the rest of the bloody things.

I've had a great  time over the last 10 years making this website!
The Kelly Story is about REAL people...
It's not some bloody movie and I think a few people forget that fact.
Digging around in grave yards with metal spikes, metal detectors... talk about ghouls!
...bugger that!

This website is now suitable for school kids. 
Teachers: I've removed the clangers.
And kids aren't fools anyway, they see through adults and their rubbish like a crystal vase.


Here's to the Kelly's
...and anyone who stands up and say's
"No I won't just go along with the flow"
