Ned Kelly is one of the most documented, and most debated, figures in Australian colonial history, and this tour visits the real places tied to his well-recorded story rather than a reconstructed one. Kelly grew up in the Greta district of North East Victoria, where his family took up a small selection of land in the 1860s, and by the late 1870s he was leading the Kelly Gang through a run of real, recorded crimes across the region. To this day, he remains a genuinely contested figure in Australian history — regarded by some as a folk hero and symbol of resistance against unjust colonial policing, and by others as a violent criminal responsible for the deaths of police officers — and the sites on this tour reflect the documented facts rather than taking a side in that ongoing debate.
One of the gang's best-known crimes took place at Euroa on 8 December 1878, when Kelly and his men robbed the local branch of the National Bank, holding a number of hostages — reportedly entertaining them with trick riding while the robbery was carried out — and escaping with more than £2,000, one of the largest hauls of its kind in the colony up to that point.
The gang's story came to a violent end at Glenrowan on 27–28 June 1880. Kelly and his remaining men took around 70 hostages at the Glenrowan Inn, planning to derail and ambush a police train sent to capture them. When the plan unravelled, the gang faced police in a lengthy shootout while wearing crude but genuine homemade armour fashioned from plough mouldboards. Ned Kelly was the only gang member taken alive — his armour protected his head and torso, but he suffered serious gunshot wounds to his hands and legs — while the other gang members died in the fighting or in the fire that engulfed the inn.
Kelly was taken to Beechworth, where the historic courthouse now included on this tour held his committal hearing in August 1880 — the preliminary proceeding that sent his case forward to a full trial. That trial for murder was heard before the Supreme Court in Melbourne, where he was found guilty and sentenced to death; he was hanged at the Old Melbourne Gaol on 11 November 1880. Visiting the real Beechworth Courthouse, the Ned Kelly Museum, and the Glenrowan Discovery Hub puts you in front of the actual documented record behind one of the most told — and retold — stories in Australian history.
