Description
ned kelly - bushranger
Ned Kelly (1854 - 1880) was probably Australia's best known bushranger, earning his reputation in various daring bank robberies during his short career. He has been variously described as a rogue and a villain (by the police), the man with the bucket on his head (by a disgruntled biographer) and Australia's last great folk hero (by a more sympathetic biographer).
The most memorable icon associated with Ned is the suits of armour worn by him and othermembers of the Kelly gang to protect themselves during shoot-outs with the police - hence the "bucket on his head" crack! The suit of armour was also Kelly's Achilles heel (so to speak) as he was finally captured after being shot in the lower leg, the only part of his body not protected by the armour.
Myths and legends (and some facts) abound about Ned Kelly and his gang, particularlysurrounding his capture, trial and eventual hanging in Melbourne, and these days he is immortalised in books, films, various pubs and hotels (including one in France!)and galleries and museums around Australia, and of course on the web. A good starting point for Kelly-abilia on the web is The Ned Kelly Outlaw Home Page which has lots of information and links to other Kelly sites and places of interest. Hopefully more Kelly-abilia will be available here in the future as well!
