Glenrowan was named after farmers James and George Rowan who ran farms in the area between 1846 and 1858. The township was settled in the late 1860s, the Post Office opening on 22 February 1870.
The township of Glenrowan may be most famous as the site of the final siege and capture of Ned Kelly and his gang in 1880. Their story is preserved in the township’s attractions, museums, and historic walk, however there is much more to Glenrowan than Ned and his armour.
You can easily explore the town on foot. Pick up a copy of the Glenrowan Heritage Siege Precinct walking map from one of the local businesses or from the local information stand at the Glenrowan Vintage Hall & Cafe. This helpful flyer will guide you around key Ned Kelly Gang sites of significance such as the Ann Jones' Glenrowan Inn, Police Shelter Site, Gravel Contractors Encampment, Ned Kelly Capture Site, McDonnell's Railway Tavern and much more.

Very interesting.
"Such is life" is something that stuck in my head first time I hear of Ned Kelly...cool upload. Great to have the chance to have a look at this place. Thanks
Alex C.C> Except Ned Kelly never uttered those words on the gallows. Just another myth.
Hi Alex CC, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the episode and town. Deano

Hi Cam, thanks for kind words and emoji's. How long are you boys in Melb for? Deano
Thanks guys for the video
Hi David, happy you enjoyed it! Thanks again for the donation, we really appreciate it. Adam
Thanks for the video it was very interesting .
Hi Trevor, glad to foudt it interesting. Did you have a favourite part? Deano
Great place, went there about 8 yrs ago. My son was obsessed with Ned Kelly
Kelly Wright I hope that by now your son has learnt that Ned Kelly was a vicious stand-over-thug, a murderer, bank robber, hostage taker, and prolific thief. Not exactly a person to be obsessed by.
Hi Kelly, I can see why kids find the story interesting - even for adults. And the town itself is nice to pop into too - friendly locals. Adam
Thank you David, we appreciate your support and contribution. It's viewers like yourself that encourage us. Deano, Adam and Twyla
I remember when I was between the ages of probably 8 and 12 I used to be obsessed, my dad took me there too, and he’s taken me to the old goal a couple of times 😊
I’m 23 now and I still have interest in the story haha
This video was a fave for me. Have done the Ned Kelly tour in Glenrowan as my hubby is a fan and we have a bit of paraphernalia around the house. Dinner menu looked yum, think you need to share the recipe.😉 Salivating watching you layer the jam and cream on the scones! Love the pups new hairdo.. Thx for another great video 🙂
Hi Jill, thanks for the message. Yes, Glenrowan is an interesting town and the Kelly story was an eye-opener as we didn't know too lunch prior to arriving, Twlya is feeling more comfortable with a shorter cut. Glad you found this as one of your favs! Adam
Informative and entertaining video.
Glenrowan is a great little town and the tourism from the Kelly Gang Siege is highly beneficial for everyone.
Implacable critical activists will whine about Ned Kelly's iconic status and the "Such is life" statement being a 'fabricated lie', but what Ned Kelly actually said as his last words is uncertain, yet he unquestionably mumbled something that was interpreted by those in hearing range.
Some newspapers at the time reported the words as 'Such is life', while a reporter standing on the gaol floor wrote that Ned's last words were, "Ah well! It has come to this, at last."
In French, c'est la vie means “that's life,” when borrowed into English it is an idiom to express acceptance or resignation, much like 'Oh well' or 'such is life', so i don't see why Ned saying "Such is life" is a big deal, as it is close enough to what he was most likely expressing!
Thanks for reaching out and for the informative message! Yeah, it's interesting how the topic can put people in 'separate camps' of opinion - and ironically such is like ha ha! We enjoyed the two too. Adam
We DO know what Kelly's last words were, and they were not "Such is Life." Read this and learn. nedkelly.info/Kellys-last-words.pdf

@@kingdeanoadventures nice😃 I grew up camping. I Will check it out.used to love a good cook up while camping. We used to do a lot of campfire cooking when I was a young bloke
Amazing video guys. Glenrowan is great little town full of history. We used always visit these little towns as a family Sunday. My whole family watches you guys. Have you ever been to Wilson's prom. I have wondering is it possible to get a free camping ground there.
Hi Michelle, Yes, Glenrowan is an interesting town. Re Wilson's Prom, we haven't been there yet as we were told it's not pet friendly. We need look into it - fingers-crossed we are in luck. Deano
Well I never knew "such is life" was a phrase coined by a television producer and is in fact pure fiction ( I googled to confirm). I really feel sorry for all those Victorians who have seen fit to have that tattooed across their chests.
Thanks for checking out our episode we really appreciate it. Regards Deano
"Such is Life" was made up by Jim Middleton, who was a witness to Ned Kelly's hanging, in 1880 He did it to embellish his writings regarding the hanging.
