This is simply a location video on Ned Kelly. I only tell the story to give the locations context. I skip over a lot of information and the details I give are from history books and web pages which may not be 100% accurate. I did my best but I am just a location guy and not Ken Burns. I appreciate the difference of views in the comments and always welcome it. All these events took place over 140 years ago. I approached this video as a person who knew nothing about the Ned Kelly story trying to learn about it through this journey. I consider these comments below an extension of that journey. The positive and the negative. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
If you are ever looking for Kate Foster's grave, she rests in the cemetery of Forbes in NSW. There are signs there also to point you in the right direction.
Keep up the great work mate. The empathy, pathos and respect you showed at stringybark creek is admirable. Would love to see more bush ranger locations.
Folks there's a compulsive liar & serial pest on TH-cam that trashes all Ned Kelly related video's and Trolls anyone and everyone who makes comments. His name is apparently BRADLEY WILLIAMS aka Sam Sabastian, an overweight lazy frustrated South Australian cop of thirty years
great work buddy, i made it to stringybark creek with my wife and 2 friends, we set off back to the car after looking at the kelly tree on a different path to what we come in on only to find a smouldering fire with no one in sight not even another car it was the most eerie feeling i've ever had .
It's strange how the world turns but within 24 hours of me watching this video, my mother said that she would really like to do a trip through 'Kelly Country' again. I told her that I just watched a location video about it. Originally from Victoria and not that far from the locations (Echuca, Shepparton and Bendigo), and we toured through the 'Kelly Country' many times when I was a kid. Summer tours and winter tours we did but I got to say to feel the real Kelly experience you got to do places like Jerilderie and Euroa in mid-summer to appreciate it fully. And places like Glenrowan in the bitter cold of a Victorian winter. Of course that option will never be available to all. I was just lucky enough to have it both ways many years ago. Back in the days when both chimneys were still standing at 11 Mile Creek...and then some... But if my mother is serious, and I know she is. It will be a winter trip. But I'll have a lot more information at my disposal this time around. It's been a long time. 1986 since I was there. And I really miss having lunch at Billy Tea Rooms in Glenrowan...
Great job Paul. I have been interested in the Kelly saga all my life but have remained neutral and observed both sides of the story. You've covered all the main locations well. Keep up the great work.
Ned would really turn in his grave seeing what is now at Glenrowan today, it being turned into an amusement park. But then again there's not really much happening in Glenrowan these days, being bypassed by the freeway, so I suppose they've got to make a quid somehow. Also you have cleared up a mystery for me as to what happened to Ned's remains. Like everyone I always assumed that he was finally buried in the old Pentridge cemetery, and forgotten, but I guess it is fitting that he was finally buried with his family at Greta, anonymously to stop the camera hounds. Good work, excellently researched video and narrative.
Actually where his last stand was is now an empty paddock. Glenrowan is just a small something the train goes through and doesn't stop at the station that's there. I went through there numerous times on the way to benalla.
Thanks Paul so much for great video. Its people like you that the world needs. I will share to my my friends around the world and give an honest respective of this country.
Absolutely fascinating. I cannot believe I didn't know much about the Ned Kelly story my whole life living in Melbourne. AND being a descendent of Irish (Tipperary) convicts. But lately, have become quite fascinated. Your video here is a brilliant piece of citizen journalism and documentation - far more informative than any of the documentaries I've watched, and really appreciate the detail and reverence you put into this historic adventure! I am travelling with my son to Glenrowan soon and very much so hoping to stop off the Hume at many of these historic spots and have a ponder. Can't thankyou enough for making such a documentary! Good on you Paul.
Please recognise that about half of the signage in Glenrowan contains fictitious nonsense. The Wangaratta Council agreed to remove the myths in June 2021. Not one has been removed to date. If you want to know the truth, read books by Dr. Doug Morrissey and papers by Dr. Stuart Dawson. They will get you on the right track.
This was absolutely wonderful. I’m so glad I found your channel. It’s so good to see authentic Oz history and not the hyperbole often found. And I loved the bits of film with good old Mick Jagger as Ned, that was priceless. (I thought he did a good job, actually) Thank you for this🤗
That was a very good summary of the "highlights" of NedKellyville in the north east of Victoria, where I live. You covered it with a lot of humour and were non-judgemental, which is hard to do. The curious cows and I applaud you.
Thank you for doing and showing us your tour of the trail, very interesting. I see from some comments this was a re-upload, I hadn't seen it before so was nice to visit. I have been to a couple of those locations, might have to try and visit a few more when I'm down that way next. I have been to Kate's grave, she was buried near where I grew up, atleast one of the Kelly's ended up with a proper headstone
The Jerilderie letter is a load of fictitious nonsense. Senior police at the time dismissed it for the lies it was, and much has now been disproved by evidence and by Ned Kelly himself confirming what he wrote was not true.
@bradwilliams7212 Because it's a part of Australia History everyone that lived in this great country of our should read the Jerilderie letter that's why
I enjoyed the video and your humour. I drove down the same dirt road looking for the Kelly House in Greta. In Greta cemetery I found Ned's cousin, Tom Lloyd. I did a similar thing that you did with Ben Hall but I only did one video at the Eugowra Escort Rock. I took some photos of the site marking where he was shot, but this site is disputed. Thanks for the video
Great job Paul. It's been decades since I was last at Stringybark. The site, now cleared of much of the undergrowth, is now almost unrecognizable. Some of my relatives had selected land just nearby on the same track. They had also lived in Greta and knew the Kelly family. Sinks90 is right about the facts surrounding the shoot out with the troopers.
Nice little tour . The Gaol and courthouses stand the test of time being substantial brick buildings. The old homesteads being wood succumb to the elements and usually just end up being a brick fireplace. I love Glenrowan , talk about cash in on Ned Kelly. I still remember seeing live enactments back in the 1970’s. Seems to be a lot of regional Victorian towns that have some claim to Ned no matter how small.
I loved this doco bro, you did a great job!! Was really well presented and had a real natural presence and love how you share your thoughts and feelings at stringy bark it was really great!! The Kenniff brothers would be a great one for you to do, of you haven't already? Jimmy and Pat Kenniff...thanks again for this 👌🏽🙌🏽💙
Big changes happening in Glenrowan at the moment with the Inland Rail development underway, this maybe what was happening at 40:56 A cafe with a statue of Ned out the front became a site office, I believe an Art Gallery is currently being built as well.
What struck me when I travelled to these sites was the distance between places.The round trip from Benalla to Stringybark Creek took a couple of hours by car.Let alone the journey all the way to Jerilderie.
You’ve missed a bit about what really happened at stringybark, we are from the area. We know what happened as do many. He was only found guilty of one, one murder and that being Kennedy. Only because he took his watch and was found with it basically. Even though the last act, was an act to put Kennedy out of his slow painful death. He was actually found in favour of self defence for the first two shootings. The police were up there with bags under their saddles also. There was no arrests going to be made. Has been stated also by official documents. They found the police camp long before the shoot out. Which was when they noticed the body bags (3) from watching within the scrub. There’s a lot locally that we all know. Official historical documents are also readily available with that information the deeper you look! A lot of common mistruths about stringybark. You’ve done an excellent job covering the locations! And a great video! 👌
WRONG. Ned Kelly was never charged with the murder of Sgt Kennedy. He was charged with the murders of Lonigan and Scanlan, but the Crown only proceeded with the Lonigan murder charge. Dr. Samuel Reynolds stated categorically that Kennedy was standing upright when he was murdered by Ned Kelly. He was not badly wounded, as Kelly claimed. The police party had two sets of handcuffs with them to secure the two Kelly brothers. Shooting them was never discussed in that police party. Fictitious nonsense. If you claim that was in official documents, present them so we can all see? No sch documents exist. You are just making up lies. Victoria police were never issued with body bags, as you claim. Fictitious rubbish, as usual. As you claim there are official documents supporting your comments. Let's see them?
Ned Kelly was charged with the murders of Lonigan and Scanlan, and the Crown proceeded with only one. which was enough to see him hanged. He was found guilty of murdering Lonigan not Kennedy. Kelly claimed self-defence, but this was discarded by the jury. Victoria police NEVER had body bags. You are making that up. The police party had two sets of handcuffs with them to secure their prisoners. No official document ever claimed the police intended to shoot the Kelly's. Make up that comment too, did we? There are no historical documents that support your fictitious statements. You have made up a lot of rubbish.
TOTAL GARBAGE. Ned Kelly was convicted of the murder of Constable Loningan. Dr Samuel Reynolds stated that Kennedy was not badly wounded and received the fatal shot while he was standing erect. Victoria police NEVER had body bags. Made up comment. No such documents exist. Made up rubbish. Ned Kelly was NOT found in favour of murdering Lonigan and Scanlan. More fictitious rubbish from you.
You got two things wrong there - "He was only found guilty of one, one murder and that being Kennedy." Wrong, the one was Lonigan. And the "body bags" is nothing that can be found in any of "the official historical documents." That is a fine example of the "A lot of common mistruths about stringybark" that you mention !! You can see the process of mythification happening in real time ! No, they had HANDCUFFS, precisely because there WERE "arrests going to be made." Cheers, just got back from a tour of Kelly Country myself!
Ned Kelly was convicted of the murder of Constable Lonigan, for which he was hanged. If Ned Kelly have of had a more experience Barrister and defence team, he may have claimed self defence in the murders of Constables Lonigan and Scanlan, but there was no way he would have escaped the murder charge for the death of Sergeant Kennedy. 'If' Ned Kelly actually did it, as it was suggested that it was Dan Kelly who actually killed Sergeant Kennedy, we will never know as Ned Kelly took responsibility for all the actions of the gang. There were no body bags in 1878. There was a unproven allegation that the constabulary were carrying 'body straps', being two leather straps fitted on the saddle for the carrying of a dead or crippled body. The Police search party located their camp extremely close to the Kelly brothers Bullock Creek Hut, where they were mining gold and had a whiskey still - did the search party know about the Bullock Creek Hut? Why did Sergeant Kennedy and Constable Scanlan seperate from the search party - was it to try and find the Kelly brothers Hut themselves for the reward money? Even Constable McIntyre stated he had no idea why Sergeant Kennedy split the search party and was none the wiser, as he was taking shots at parrots to make a stew for dinner - shots which alerted the Kelly brothers to the Police camp. Many unanswered questions.
So what did Ned Kelly stand for, except to rob poor settlers of their only work horses, effectively sending them bankrupt. A man who robbed banks, taking the meagre savings of poor settlers. A man who took hostages including women and children at gunpoint and threatened them with death. A man who murdered three police officers in a most horrific way. A man who intended to derail a train and murder numerous police and all civilians on the train, including women. You are obviously living in a world of delusion.
What did Ned Kelly stand for? He was a prolific thief. He was a murderer, gunning down three police in the most horrific manner. He robbed banks, and took hostages at gunpoint, including women and children, and threatened to murder them. He intended to murder a trainload of police and civilians. He stole the work horses of poor settlers, sending many bankrupt. So please tell us, what do you love that he stood for?
Please let us know what Ned Kelly stood for? The facts are that Kelly was a very serious murdering criminal who took hostages including women and children at gunpoint and threatened them with death. He robbed banks of poor settlers, meagre savings. He stole the work horses from poor settlers, effectively sending many bankrupt. He intended to derail a train and murder all the survivors, including police, civilians men and women. Now tell us again, what did Kelly stand for?
So what did Ned Kelly stand for, other than robbing poor settlers, holding women and children prisoner at gunpoint, and robbing banks that had poor settler's meagre savings held in them?
@@gold1850s If you knew the true story, Ned Kelly gunned down Lonigan as soon as he moved. He also murdered Scanlan while he was on all fours on the ground, trying to stand up. Neither of those officers had a weapon in hand when they were murdered. The murder of Sgt Kennedy was vile. Chasing the officer for 800 metres through the bush and wounding him, he interrogated him for some time, learning he had 5 small children under 10 years of age and his wife was pregnant. He then took a 12 gauge shotgun and at point-blank range blasted the officer in the chest, killing him instantly. No police officer had a weapon in hand when they were viciously murdered.
Only a family story that might or might not be true but the claim is that my great uncle (or perhaps great great uncle) came upon Ned camped in the bush where they shared a drink of tea. Ned is reported as being "a good bloke" but not someone to get into an argument with.
6:13 ohhh, that's just Betty. She resides in the “Avenel Twilight Maximum Security Nursing Home For The Permanently Bewildered”. I see she's escaped again. Don't believe anything she says and call 000! If you offer her a Tim-Tam, she's quite passive!
@@PaulHagl She certainly a 'vibe' killer. Normally they locate and sedate Betty quite quickly. She was obviously heading straight to Coles and the biscuit isle.
As a younger woman I was "in love" with Mick Jagger, so I've seen the film many times. Much thanks for your documentary. Blame it on the Brits! I'm not Irish but wish I was...Hi from Ontario where we don't respect history enough. Cheers.
Are you not aware that 82% of the police in Victoria were Irish and most were Catholic. Do you not know that three of the early premiers in Victoria were Irish.
going by the fact he saved a boy from drowning, is enough proof he was a hero. and that moment is what people should go by. other things he did, yes, crimes, but some, he did to protect, save his family. his sister was harassed by an officer, so, Ned stood up, against and fought for her defense, honor. Who wouldn't. so, a 2nd heroic fact of and for Ned.
Your comment is not true. Constable Fitzpatrick never went near Kate Kelly. She made up that nonsense 10 months after the visit to the Kelly home by Fitzpatrick. What did Ned Kelly say about that alleged event, which you falsely claim as being true. After Kelly was captured, he was interviewed by a journalist from the Age. “Reporter: Now Kelly, what is the real history of Fitzpatrick’s business? Did he ever try to take liberties with your sister Kate?” Kelly: No, that is a foolish story. If he or any other policeman tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria could not hold him. (The Age, 9th August 1880) You really need to get yourself up to date with facts, and stop writing fictitious rubbish.
Kate Kelly was not harassed by Constable Fitzpatrick. She made up that fiction 10 months after the event. Even Ned Kelly, after his capture, confirmed that Fitzpatrick never went near his sister. You are repeating lies, sport. Get your facts up to date. “Reporter: Now Kelly, what is the real history of Fitzpatrick’s business? Did he ever try to take liberties with your sister Kate?” Kelly: No that is a foolish story. If he or any other policeman tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria would not hold him” (The Age, August 9th1880)
NOT TRUE. Constable Fitzpatrick NEVER went near Kate Kelly. That is a myth made up by Kate Kelly herself, 10 months after the event. Even Ned Kelly said it did not happen. You are talking rubbish.
Ned Kelly NEVER saved Richard Shelton from Hughes Creek. That is a myth. Kate Kelly was not harassed by Constable Fitzpatrick. That is a myth. Even Ned Kelly said is did not happen. You are talking a load of fictitious rubbish.
We have done the Ned Kelly Trail twice and we found it very interesting. It’s hard to believe what actually happened there and need not to have happened at all.
Its a fascinating story. A lot of evidence and documents from several sides of the story. Thanks so much for your investigation and travels. I would love to plan the same trip.
I point out that there is no documentary evidence from the pro Kelly side. It is all made up fiction, myths and lies by pro Kelly authors. Everything I posted can be authenticated by documentary evidence.
Never forget that Irish people in early Australia 🇦🇺 were persecuted by the coppers who were mostly Englishmen. The bigotry against the Irish continued in the new country. Kelly was up for defending his family; (particularly his mum and sister) he is the hero. RIP Ned Kelly.
There is so much that is unknown….I personally don’t know what to believe but I’ve met a allot of people who have relatives that swear Ned escaped from glenrowan but didn’t go back to help his gang as it was hopeless and he escaped and moved in the area around Toowoomba in Queensland…I always thought it was a bit far fetched but there are people who swear by this story and there grandparents knew him…
I met an older guy while I was on holiday in Qld many years ago, he lived in residential cabins next to the Holiday park I was in, he claimed that Ned definitely was hanged, but Dan Kelly and one other escaped the Glenrowan Inn and ended up in Queensland. He went on to say that Dan was actually related to him (Grandfather I think) and the guy even showed me a period correct handgun that had signs of slight charring, allegedly from the Glenrowan fire. To this day, I have no idea if it was true, or just some bloke spinning a yarn to a then 17 year old kid (I'm now 44) If it wasn't true, the guy was a masterful story teller
I lived in Benalla for 3 years he was locked up in the court house there and escaped his cell and hid in the boot makers shop across the road which is a cafe now. He was eventually talked into handing himself back in by the store owner. Btw you should do the man from snowy River next. Especially get upto Craig's hut.
Many a slip between the cup and the lip, a slip is known to break a man's neck. Ned would not have forgiven you for confusing England and Ireland. You're missing the crux of the tale. Sláinte.
. Go easy. He's trying to see his own perspective inspector.. you have no subs, and been there for what,, 16 years?? 😂😂😂 obviously you're very relevant. Goodbye clown.
Depressing visit to the childhood home and farm at Greta. Travelling there with family in the 80s, you could see the remnants of the chimney still standing. That was all that was left of the homestead but it looks like that is all gone too, now.
We were there a week ago (19th May 24), Wish we knew then what you shared here. It would have made the trip a much more enjoyable historic trip for us. I believe he was a victim of police corruption. I have no doubt that was the case here. R.I.P to all the Kelly family. A hero in my eyes.
Except there is no evidence that the rescue ever happened. It was invented by a pro-Kelly author 60 years after it was alleged to have occurred. The Kelly family never mentioned it, and the Shelton family confirmed that the family did not give Ned Kelly a green sash. It is fictitious rot.
In the Jesse James house in the US people have picked away the floor board were he bled out, now it turns out the mark on the floor most likely wasn't blood anyway. They also picked away at the wall were the bullet supposedly went through. This happens everywhere.
i just want to say thankyou i found you video very informative i truly believe that is a hero and a Aussie legend he went through hell just to try to protect his family and was endlessly bullied by the Victorian police and not once did they take responsablity for thier actions what the police did was wrong on so many levels including what fitzpatrick did to neds sister its show racisim at its finest all because neds family were irish decent and oncesome breaks the law once the whole famliy id in for it if only the had been given a chance i personally think things could have been different the kelly family but the police never gave them that chance they made their life hell may the kelly family rest in peace and to their descendants i wish nothing but the best because you deserve the best
The grave stone/sign to your upper left has what i think is a fake grave on it, as right at its base it has ned kellys face in metal engraving attached to it
There is some talk that Steve & Dan did not perish in the inn as their bodies were never identified, and they had both escaped and fled to Queensland. More research is currently being done to verify this narrative.
I'm having a hopefully brief hiatus. I'm renovating my house and putting in a studio so I can make more videos. I am working on a documentary that will be finished in a couple of months. A bit of a passion project. I promise it will be worth the wait.
Really enjoyed the watch mate, I get the feeling some locals know a lot that will never be spoke. Shame about the so called grave site, maybe he’s back in Ireland
rip ned a true hero the police were the true criminals and still are today i would love to meet his family and visit Ned's resting place to pay my respect
Ned was a revolutionist /yes you may find that hard to beleive // ned claimed a new country / continent need's to be free from Britains laws ''look up the three policemen that were three prisoners that had finalised there time served , one was a rapist and fell in love with ned's sister 'she refused his advances he raped ned's sister and that is pretty much how it all blew out of control ... .....
This is simply a location video on Ned Kelly. I only tell the story to give the locations context.
I skip over a lot of information and the details I give are from history books and web pages which may not be 100% accurate.
I did my best but I am just a location guy and not Ken Burns.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I thought is was quite good. You NEVER going to please everbody. It hard to be fence sitter especially with this subject..
It's a good starting point for people with little knowledge of Australian history. I really enjoyed it
If you are ever looking for Kate Foster's grave, she rests in the cemetery of Forbes in NSW. There are signs there also to point you in the right direction.

Great video. The scarf was actually a silk sash.
It's strange how the world turns but within 24 hours of me watching this video, my mother said that she would really like to do a trip through 'Kelly Country' again.

Originally from Victoria and not that far from the locations (Echuca, Shepparton and Bendigo), and we toured through the 'Kelly Country' many times when I was a kid.
Summer tours and winter tours we did but I got to say to feel the real Kelly experience you got to do places like Jerilderie and Euroa in mid-summer to appreciate it fully. And places like Glenrowan in the bitter cold of a Victorian winter. Of course that option will never be available to all. I was just lucky enough to have it both ways many years ago.

Great job Paul. I have been interested in the Kelly saga all my life but have remained neutral and observed both sides of the story. You've covered all the main locations well. Keep up the great work.
Great video mate, feels like we were along for the journey! 🇦🇺
That’s what I was going for. Thanks 🙏
Really enjoyed this! At the Benalla Kelly museum they have the green silk sash given to Ned for saving that young boy.
Ned would really turn in his grave seeing what is now at Glenrowan today, it being turned into an amusement park.

Welcome back Paul great video thank you so very much for doing this again
Loved it, thank you for sharing.
awesome video paul. You have explained it all in a nice process to actually understand what unfolded . Really enjoyed it.
He did a pretty good job, not being full bottle with the Kelly story. Glad I could add some facts to help get the true story out there.
Thanks Paul so much for great video. Its people like you that the world needs. I will share to my my friends around the world and give an honest respective of this country.

Thank you Elizabeth. I'll add citizen journalist to my resume. I like the sound of that.
You have put a lot of time and effort into this video.
It was very enjoyable
I do like how you put your own style into it, with a good bit of humour.
This was absolutely wonderful. I’m so glad I found your channel. It’s so good to see authentic Oz history and not the hyperbole often found. And I loved the bits of film with good old Mick Jagger as Ned, that was priceless. (I thought he did a good job, actually)
Thank you for this🤗
Thanks for your support. I've got a new one coming out in about a week. Click that bell below the video 😇
Really great video! Thanks for making it, would love to see more historical videos in the future.
That was a very good summary of the "highlights" of NedKellyville in the north east of Victoria, where I live. You covered it with a lot of humour and were non-judgemental, which is hard to do. The curious cows and I applaud you.

This was an awesome video. Thanks so much!
Nice one mate. Ive done a few vists myself. Like your style
Again great job! Thank you
Great history Paul thanks for taking the time to share
You have out done yourself. Terrific doco. Your work always entertaining
Thanks
You have done justice to the family name. Now if only people read the Jerildirie letter. Again well done mate, like your style.
The Jerilderie letter is a load of fictitious nonsense. Senior police at the time dismissed it for the lies it was, and much has now been disproved by evidence and by Ned Kelly himself confirming what he wrote was not true.
Why would anyone read the Jerilderie letter, when it's full of lies.
@bradwilliams7212 Because it's a part of Australia History everyone that lived in this great country of our should read the Jerilderie letter that's why

There is a fantastic book published in the 1950s...about the Kelly gang...Called Australian Son...find a copy and read it as i did 30 years ago !
What microphone did you use to record the video the quality is amazing at the start
Nice little tour . The Gaol and courthouses stand the test of time being substantial brick buildings. The old homesteads being wood succumb to the elements and usually just end up being a brick fireplace. I love Glenrowan , talk about cash in on Ned Kelly. I still remember seeing live enactments back in the 1970’s. Seems to be a lot of regional Victorian towns that have some claim to Ned no matter how small.
He’s covered a heck of a lot of country in this video. Plenty of driving.
Awesome video as always.. I learnt more about Ned from watching it. Now I must visit the same places for myself.
fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well made and presented... good stuff
Great video Paul,
I have done much research on Ned Kelly over the years, enjoyed your video very much.
Keep up the great work,..Alan,..Bendigo.
Thanks Alan. I treasure the positive comments on this one.
I loved this doco bro, you did a great job!! Was really well presented and had a real natural presence and love how you share your thoughts and feelings at stringy bark it was really great!! The Kenniff brothers would be a great one for you to do, of you haven't already? Jimmy and Pat Kenniff...thanks again for this 👌🏽🙌🏽💙
I enjoyed this mate! Thanks
Big changes happening in Glenrowan at the moment with the Inland Rail development underway, this maybe what was happening at 40:56
A cafe with a statue of Ned out the front became a site office, I believe an Art Gallery is currently being built as well.
Good informative video, very entertaining...
Grew up in Benalla. We had a class on the Kelly gang. Easiest class ever
Gree-ta
Great video
What struck me when I travelled to these sites was the distance between places.The round trip from Benalla to Stringybark Creek took a couple of hours by car.Let alone the journey all the way to Jerilderie.
Very good mate. Enjoyed it all.
wow the animatronics have not changed in 40 years!
Victoria police? Nothing changed Ned!♥️🇭🇲
good work mate
You’ve missed a bit about what really happened at stringybark, we are from the area. We know what happened as do many.
He was only found guilty of one, one murder and that being Kennedy.
Only because he took his watch and was found with it basically. Even though the last act, was an act to put Kennedy out of his slow painful death. He was actually found in favour of self defence for the first two shootings.
The police were up there with bags under their saddles also. There was no arrests going to be made. Has been stated also by official documents. They found the police camp long before the shoot out. Which was when they noticed the body bags (3) from watching within the scrub.
There’s a lot locally that we all know. Official historical documents are also readily available with that information the deeper you look! A lot of common mistruths about stringybark.
You’ve done an excellent job covering the locations! And a great video! 👌
WRONG. Ned Kelly was never charged with the murder of Sgt Kennedy. He was charged with the murders of Lonigan and Scanlan, but the Crown only proceeded with the Lonigan murder charge.
Dr. Samuel Reynolds stated categorically that Kennedy was standing upright when he was murdered by Ned Kelly. He was not badly wounded, as Kelly claimed.
The police party had two sets of handcuffs with them to secure the two Kelly brothers. Shooting them was never discussed in that police party. Fictitious nonsense.
If you claim that was in official documents, present them so we can all see? No sch documents exist. You are just making up lies.
Victoria police were never issued with body bags, as you claim. Fictitious rubbish, as usual.
As you claim there are official documents supporting your comments. Let's see them?
Ned Kelly was charged with the murders of Lonigan and Scanlan, and the Crown proceeded with only one. which was enough to see him hanged. He was found guilty of murdering Lonigan not Kennedy. Kelly claimed self-defence, but this was discarded by the jury. Victoria police NEVER had body bags. You are making that up. The police party had two sets of handcuffs with them to secure their prisoners. No official document ever claimed the police intended to shoot the Kelly's. Make up that comment too, did we? There are no historical documents that support your fictitious statements. You have made up a lot of rubbish.
TOTAL GARBAGE. Ned Kelly was convicted of the murder of Constable Loningan.
Dr Samuel Reynolds stated that Kennedy was not badly wounded and received the fatal shot while he was standing erect.
Victoria police NEVER had body bags. Made up comment.
No such documents exist. Made up rubbish.
Ned Kelly was NOT found in favour of murdering Lonigan and Scanlan. More fictitious rubbish from you.
You got two things wrong there - "He was only found guilty of one, one murder and that being Kennedy."
Wrong, the one was Lonigan.
And the "body bags" is nothing that can be found in any of "the official historical documents." That is a fine example of the "A lot of common mistruths about stringybark" that you mention !! You can see the process of mythification happening in real time ! No, they had HANDCUFFS, precisely because there WERE "arrests going to be made."
Cheers, just got back from a tour of Kelly Country myself!
Ned Kelly was convicted of the murder of Constable Lonigan, for which he was hanged.
If Ned Kelly have of had a more experience Barrister and defence team, he may have claimed self defence in the murders of Constables Lonigan and Scanlan, but there was no way he would have escaped the murder charge for the death of Sergeant Kennedy.
'If' Ned Kelly actually did it, as it was suggested that it was Dan Kelly who actually killed Sergeant Kennedy, we will never know as Ned Kelly took responsibility for all the actions of the gang.
There were no body bags in 1878.
There was a unproven allegation that the constabulary were carrying 'body straps', being two leather straps fitted on the saddle for the carrying of a dead or crippled body.
The Police search party located their camp extremely close to the Kelly brothers Bullock Creek Hut, where they were mining gold and had a whiskey still - did the search party know about the Bullock Creek Hut? Why did Sergeant Kennedy and Constable Scanlan seperate from the search party - was it to try and find the Kelly brothers Hut themselves for the reward money?
Even Constable McIntyre stated he had no idea why Sergeant Kennedy split the search party and was none the wiser, as he was taking shots at parrots to make a stew for dinner - shots which alerted the Kelly brothers to the Police camp.
Many unanswered questions.
Love Ned for everything he stood for
So what did Ned Kelly stand for, except to rob poor settlers of their only work horses, effectively sending them bankrupt. A man who robbed banks, taking the meagre savings of poor settlers. A man who took hostages including women and children at gunpoint and threatened them with death. A man who murdered three police officers in a most horrific way. A man who intended to derail a train and murder numerous police and all civilians on the train, including women.
You are obviously living in a world of delusion.
What did Ned Kelly stand for? He was a prolific thief. He was a murderer, gunning down three police in the most horrific manner. He robbed banks, and took hostages at gunpoint, including women and children, and threatened to murder them. He intended to murder a trainload of police and civilians. He stole the work horses of poor settlers, sending many bankrupt.
So please tell us, what do you love that he stood for?
Please let us know what Ned Kelly stood for? The facts are that Kelly was a very serious murdering criminal who took hostages including women and children at gunpoint and threatened them with death. He robbed banks of poor settlers, meagre savings. He stole the work horses from poor settlers, effectively sending many bankrupt. He intended to derail a train and murder all the survivors, including police, civilians men and women. Now tell us again, what did Kelly stand for?
So what did Ned Kelly stand for, other than robbing poor settlers, holding women and children prisoner at gunpoint, and robbing banks that had poor settler's meagre savings held in them?
@@gold1850s If you knew the true story, Ned Kelly gunned down Lonigan as soon as he moved. He also murdered Scanlan while he was on all fours on the ground, trying to stand up. Neither of those officers had a weapon in hand when they were murdered.
The murder of Sgt Kennedy was vile. Chasing the officer for 800 metres through the bush and wounding him, he interrogated him for some time, learning he had 5 small children under 10 years of age and his wife was pregnant. He then took a 12 gauge shotgun and at point-blank range blasted the officer in the chest, killing him instantly.
No police officer had a weapon in hand when they were viciously murdered.
Only a family story that might or might not be true but the claim is that my great uncle (or perhaps great great uncle) came upon Ned camped in the bush where they shared a drink of tea. Ned is reported as being "a good bloke" but not someone to get into an argument with.
Greatest outlaw in history!
6:13 ohhh, that's just Betty. She resides in the “Avenel Twilight Maximum Security Nursing Home For The Permanently Bewildered”. I see she's escaped again. Don't believe anything she says and call 000! If you offer her a Tim-Tam, she's quite passive!
Hilarious! I couldn’t believe my luck when she appeared from nowhere.
@@PaulHagl She certainly a 'vibe' killer. Normally they locate and sedate Betty quite quickly. She was obviously heading straight to Coles and the biscuit isle.
As a younger woman I was "in love" with Mick Jagger, so I've seen the film many times. Much thanks for your documentary. Blame it on the Brits! I'm not Irish but wish I was...Hi from Ontario where we don't respect history enough. Cheers.
Are you not aware that 82% of the police in Victoria were Irish and most were Catholic. Do you not know that three of the early premiers in Victoria were Irish.
Oh lord
going by the fact he saved a boy from drowning, is enough proof he was a hero. and that moment is what people should go by. other things he did, yes, crimes, but some, he did to protect, save his family. his sister was harassed by an officer, so, Ned stood up, against and fought for her defense, honor. Who wouldn't. so, a 2nd heroic fact of and for Ned.
Your comment is not true. Constable Fitzpatrick never went near Kate Kelly. She made up that nonsense 10 months after the visit to the Kelly home by Fitzpatrick.
What did Ned Kelly say about that alleged event, which you falsely claim as being true.
After Kelly was captured, he was interviewed by a journalist from the Age.
“Reporter: Now Kelly, what is the real history of Fitzpatrick’s business? Did he ever try to take liberties with your sister Kate?”
Kelly: No, that is a foolish story. If he or any other policeman tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria could not hold him. (The Age, 9th August 1880)
You really need to get yourself up to date with facts, and stop writing fictitious rubbish.
Kate Kelly was not harassed by Constable Fitzpatrick. She made up that fiction 10 months after the event.
Even Ned Kelly, after his capture, confirmed that Fitzpatrick never went near his sister. You are repeating lies, sport. Get your facts up to date.
“Reporter: Now Kelly, what is the real history of Fitzpatrick’s business? Did he ever try to take liberties with your sister Kate?” Kelly: No that is a foolish story. If he or any other policeman tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria would not hold him” (The Age, August 9th1880)
NOT TRUE. Constable Fitzpatrick NEVER went near Kate Kelly. That is a myth made up by Kate Kelly herself, 10 months after the event. Even Ned Kelly said it did not happen. You are talking rubbish.
Ned Kelly NEVER saved Richard Shelton from Hughes Creek. That is a myth.
Kate Kelly was not harassed by Constable Fitzpatrick. That is a myth. Even Ned Kelly said is did not happen.
You are talking a load of fictitious rubbish.
We have done the Ned Kelly Trail twice and we found it very interesting. It’s hard to believe what actually happened there and need not to have happened at all.
Its a fascinating story. A lot of evidence and documents from several sides of the story. Thanks so much for your investigation and travels. I would love to plan the same trip.
I point out that there is no documentary evidence from the pro Kelly side. It is all made up fiction, myths and lies by pro Kelly authors.
Everything I posted can be authenticated by documentary evidence.
Tops!
Never forget that Irish people in early Australia 🇦🇺 were persecuted by the coppers who were mostly Englishmen. The bigotry against the Irish continued in the new country. Kelly was up for defending his family; (particularly his mum and sister) he is the hero. RIP Ned Kelly.
Beaconsfield Pde bridge over the railway rebuilt for the Inland Rail project.
I’m sure it a great project. Good for the town. I was getting grumpy because the world wasn’t pausing for me 😕
@@PaulHagl The current bridge is too low. The new bridge will permit higher loads to be on rolling stock.
There is so much that is unknown….I personally don’t know what to believe but I’ve met a allot of people who have relatives that swear Ned escaped from glenrowan but didn’t go back to help his gang as it was hopeless and he escaped and moved in the area around Toowoomba in Queensland…I always thought it was a bit far fetched but there are people who swear by this story and there grandparents knew him…
That is total BS.
I met an older guy while I was on holiday in Qld many years ago, he lived in residential cabins next to the Holiday park I was in, he claimed that Ned definitely was hanged, but Dan Kelly and one other escaped the Glenrowan Inn and ended up in Queensland. He went on to say that Dan was actually related to him (Grandfather I think) and the guy even showed me a period correct handgun that had signs of slight charring, allegedly from the Glenrowan fire.
To this day, I have no idea if it was true, or just some bloke spinning a yarn to a then 17 year old kid (I'm now 44)
If it wasn't true, the guy was a masterful story teller
Obviously Ned's grave is not marked so that some idiot does not did him up and get one of his bones as a souvenir. It was a green sash, not a scarf.
I lived in Benalla for 3 years he was locked up in the court house there and escaped his cell and hid in the boot makers shop across the road which is a cafe now. He was eventually talked into handing himself back in by the store owner. Btw you should do the man from snowy River next. Especially get upto Craig's hut.
Ned Kelly film you showed was the first full length movie made in Australia
Great video, But Red Kelly was transported from Tipperary, Ireland 1841...Not England.
I was only 557 kms off 😜
Many a slip between the cup and the lip, a slip is known to break a man's neck. Ned would not have forgiven you for confusing England and Ireland. You're missing the crux of the tale. Sláinte.
. Go easy. He's trying to see his own perspective inspector.. you have no subs, and been there for what,, 16 years?? 😂😂😂 obviously you're very relevant. Goodbye clown.
@@dingodaithi 😂 you are a loser...
The interesting thing that I found the times that I've visited the Kelly cottage in Beverage is that it is always closed. Why is it?
Don’t know either. It was shut when I was there even though Google said it was open. No one came out to speak to me.
Depressing visit to the childhood home and farm at Greta. Travelling there with family in the 80s, you could see the remnants of the chimney still standing. That was all that was left of the homestead but it looks like that is all gone too, now.
Loved this informative video.
Would love if you did a video on Aussie comedian Roy 'Mo Rene.
We were there a week ago (19th May 24), Wish we knew then what you shared here. It would have made the trip a much more enjoyable historic trip for us. I believe he was a victim of police corruption. I have no doubt that was the case here. R.I.P to all the Kelly family. A hero in my eyes.
"enough with the banjos" 😂
A little out with where Ned saved Richard Shelton but still well done!
Except there is no evidence that the rescue ever happened. It was invented by a pro-Kelly author 60 years after it was alleged to have occurred.
The Kelly family never mentioned it, and the Shelton family confirmed that the family did not give Ned Kelly a green sash.
It is fictitious rot.
Ned Kelly NEVER saved Richard Shelton from Hughes Creek, at Avenel. That is a myth.

In the Jesse James house in the US people have picked away the floor board were he bled out, now it turns out the mark on the floor most likely wasn't blood anyway. They also picked away at the wall were the bullet supposedly went through. This happens everywhere.
i just want to say thankyou i found you video very informative i truly believe that is a hero and a Aussie legend he went through hell just to try to protect his family and was endlessly bullied by the Victorian police and not once did they take responsablity for thier actions what the police did was wrong on so many levels including what fitzpatrick did to neds sister its show racisim at its finest all because neds family were irish decent and oncesome breaks the law once the whole famliy id in for it if only the had been given a chance i personally think things could have been different the kelly family but the police never gave them that chance they made their life hell
may the kelly family rest in peace and to their descendants i wish nothing but the best because you deserve the best
Great! It's back-up!
The grave stone/sign to your upper left has what i think is a fake grave on it, as right at its base it has ned kellys face in metal engraving attached to it
There is some talk that Steve & Dan did not perish in the inn as their bodies were never identified, and they had both escaped and fled to Queensland. More research is currently being done to verify this narrative.
So where is Dan Kelly buried?
Dan is maybe buried at Greta. His charred body was believed to be him. In those days they couldn’t verify that.
I’m not surprised people have been stealing a brick from that location , I think somebody even stole his skull probably relatives allegedly
He played a big part in the computer program now it's full on code for horse racing.
Thank god no one important was hurt at stringy bark creek
Bloody disgraceful - should be a monument and museum - he is a legend ...never trust the Victorian police !
Re-Upload?
Yes, I stuffed something up. Thankfully someone alerted me to it.
@@PaulHagl Perfect excuse to watch it again! (I never did spot the difference)
I feel like I have seen this before.
Thanks for letting us know.
It is pronounced Greeta………..Jack Jones is buried in Wangaratta Cemetery, close to Mason St, towards the original front of the cemetery.
John Red Kelly was from Tipperary in Ireland not England.
It's like saying Australians are Kiwis.
I thought everyone knew of his Irish ancestry.
I'm waiting on the dub remix of the re-enactment..
And you wore the same shirt every day !!
more content please paul.. cmon!
I'm having a hopefully brief hiatus. I'm renovating my house and putting in a studio so I can make more videos. I am working on a documentary that will be finished in a couple of months. A bit of a passion project. I promise it will be worth the wait.
Avoid the movies watch the mini series with John Jarrett it’s the best
Really enjoyed the watch mate, I get the feeling some locals know a lot that will never be spoke. Shame about the so called grave site, maybe he’s back in Ireland
He was born in Australia… why would he
rip ned a true hero the police were the true criminals and still are today i would love to meet his family and visit Ned's resting place to pay my respect
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡
Chinese born in AUS don't have Chinese accents, Ned was born in AUS
Ned was Irish born in Australia
Ned's father stole the pigs in Ireland not in England!!
rip great uncle ned
Red got busted in Tipperary
33:07 , stupid Gronk ,
Ned was a revolutionist /yes you may find that hard to beleive // ned claimed a new country / continent need's to be free from Britains laws ''look up the three policemen that were three prisoners that had finalised there time served , one was a rapist and fell in love with ned's sister 'she refused his advances he raped ned's sister and that is pretty much how it all blew out of control ...
.....
Ned Kelly was a bushranger, outlaw, gang leader and convicted police-murderer? He doesn't sound like a hero.
The Kelly family must of been real ferals .. Today we call them houseos... No respect for social society 😊😊
Gd doco mate - but awful bloody music and too loud ...
