	True History of the Kelly Gang - Peter Carey
		It does not matter that we are unable to pin Kelly to the facts of his life, only that we are willing and prepared to accept him as Carey reveals him to us, and to trust the kaleidoscopic array of characters and situations and the often startling images employed by Carey to create them.
		Ned writes down his story for his daughter: "raised on lies and silences" himself he wants her to know the truth, knowing he is unlikely to ever be able to tell her himself.
		Kelly gets a parcel of land, but it is not enough to lift the family out of desperation.

		The most wanted outlaws the country has ever known, the four-member Kelly Gang, had £8,000 on their heads, at a time when a labouring man's wages were about 15 shillings a week.
		Victorians signed a petition against Kelly's sentencing, and an inquiry was held in which all the police officers involved in Ned's exploits were either made redundant or demoted.
		Kelly Gang member Joe Byrne, opium addict and something of a poet, was propped up against the door of the Benalla lock-up for photographer Arthur Burman.

	Ned Kelly (2004)
		As was the case for a young Ned Kelly: A native Australian born to Irish parents.
		Kelly was eventually wrestled to the ground by others on the scene, tied and the heavyset Hall pistol-whipped the boy several times.
		Particularly, the ingenuity and genius the Kelly gang came up with to put such a plan in motion, which labeled them "Iron Outlaws." Ledger, as Ned, narrated over one scene saying that the English always said the Irish were too big on dreams and fell short on gunpowder.

		The Kellys are portrayed as vile bullies, while Aaron Sherrit is shown to have been a noble, conscience-stricken man, gunned down in his prime.
		The story it intended to tell is not clear from the footage that survives, and so it is hard to judge how long it may have been from the plot-line.
		In the original version of The Story Of The Kelly Gang, on the other hand, it is easy to tell Ned from Dan in the first scene in which they appear: Ned is the one who has the lean, upright look of a true blue son of Australia.

	Granite Range Estate - Ned Kelly Story
		The gang's leader, Ned Kelly with his gang had calculated that police would be sent to the area by train, because of a recent murder.
		The gang had set to ambush the train but the school teacher escaped from Jones Hotel and signalled the train to stop before it came to the part of the railway line which had been torn up so as to wreck the train.
		Ned and his gang were on the run from the law for 18 months and were involved in numerous thefts and several bank robberies during this time.

	Ned Online
		Ned Kelly was a bushranger (an Australian word for outlaw that has connotations of defiance and freedom rather than crime) and one of the best-known, and most mythologized, figures in Australian history.
		The activities of the Kelly gang in rural Victoria between 1878 and 1880, and the subsequent capture and execution of Ned, were the stuff of legend both at the time and since.
		Kelly himself was keenly aware of this and sought to influence his representation in the popular press.

	The Many Histories of the Kelly Gang (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The film, The Story of the Kelly Gang, was shot in 1906 and is usually described as Australia’s first feature film.
		It is a fact that many of the policemen involved in the saga were subsequently demoted and pensioned off or, in the case of Constable Fitzpatrick, with whom the outbreak can be said to have started, dismissed from the force on the grounds that he "could not be trusted out of sight".
		The tactics the gang employed at Glenrowan were similar to those employed by the Boers 15 years later in South Africa and Ian Jones, commonly regarded as the leading Kelly historian of our day, is in no doubt that Glenrowan was intended to spark an uprising aimed at establishing a republic in north-east Victoria.

		Some of these stories were as small as the transparent anthropods that lived in the puddles beneath the river casuarinas.
		These stories were like fleas, thrip, so tiny that they might inhabit a place (inside the ears of the seeds of grass) he would later walk across without even seeing.
		In True Story of the Kelly Gang (2001), a novel, he sought to resurrect the human emotions that make sense of the story.

		Kelly the myth quickly outstripped Kelly the man. And with its marketing pitch, "you can kill a man but not a legend," Jordan's film, based on Robert Drewe's 1991 novel Our Sunshine, continues the tradition, idealizing as much as illuminating Kelly.
		At the State Library of Victoria, the surprisingly small husk of that spirit - the plough-board armor Kelly wore before being felled by police bullets at the siege of Glenrowan - is displayed for the first time in its entirety since his capture.
		His Kelly series of the following year would be the first of many to explore what he saw as Australia's fugitive place in the world.

		Ned Kelly is a retelling of the ill-fated story of Australia’s most notorious band of bushrangers.
		This movie is one of the best-known versions of the Kelly story, due to the casting of British rock star Mick Jagger as the Irish-Australian bushranger Ned Kelly.
		Loosely based on the story of Australian bushranger and icon, Ned Kelly, who had a brutal childhood and at 16 years of age was imprisoned for stealing a horse.

	More Australian than Aristotelian: The Australian Bushranger Film, 1904-1914
		TSOTKG itself was entirely or partly remade by its original producers in 1910, and from 1907 to November of 1910 at least five other fiction films were released, two of which were obviously concerned with bushrangers: Robbery Under Arms (1907) and The Life And Adventures Of John Vane, The Notorious Australian Bushranger (1910).
		TSOTKG and Thunderbolt are structured like strings of beads (or picket fences), made up of episodes whose chronological relations are more significant than their relations of narrative causality.
		And finally, there is the end of the story: the bushranger's capture and/or death, the reconstitution of authority coincident with the end of the film.

		Innumerable press stories, pamphlets, books, plays, films, and even musicals have dramatised and distorted the facts to such a degree that the fiction is publicly accepted more than the reality.
		In the case of Chapman the uterus was taken away by the killer; Eddowes' uterus and left kidney were taken; and in Kelly's case, evidence suggests, the heart.
		The murder of Mary Kelly, in November 1888, was accompanied by mutilation of such ferocity that it beggared description, and, for once, left the press short of superlatives.

	The Story of the Kelly Gang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Story of the Kelly Gang (also screened as Ned Kelly and His Gang) is widely regarded as the world's first feature length film.
		The Story of the Kelly Gang tone is of sorrow depicting Ned Kelly as 'the Last of the Bushrangers,' presenting the police hiding under the bed when Aaron Sherritt is shot ('This is the Only Blot on the Police,') and portraying Curnow's action of warning the train as heroic ('Thank God, he Saved the Train.')
		The capture of Ned is shot from the viewpoint of the police, as Ned advances, an impressive figure weaving towards them under the weight of his armour and the shock of the bullets.

		Nineteenth-century Australian frontier outlaw Ned Kelly was a killer, thief, leader of a murderous gang, and to some a martyr.
		The son of poor Irish immigrants, Kelly was a criminal by the time he was a teenager and was hanged for his crimes by the age of twenty-five.
		The narrative is presented by Peter Carey in the form of several journals written by the outlaw and dedicated to his unborn daughter in an effort to preserve the "real" tale of his life and deeds.

		He was hanged in the 1880s for the murder of three policemen, not long after the rest of his gang was killed in a shootout with police.
		This is Ned Kelly's true confession, in his own words and written on the run for an infant daughter he has never seen.
		With this mythic outlaw and the story of his mighty travails and exploits, and with all the force of a classic Western, Peter Carey has breathed life into a historical figure who transcends all borders and embodies tragedy, perseverance, and freedom.

	Ned Kelly (2003): Heath Ledger, Naomi Watts, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush - PopMatters Film Review
		Ned Kelly was the most infamous and charismatic bushranger Australia had ever seen, primarily because he was perceived to have been wrongly accused of criminal activity by a corrupt police system that were noted for oppressing poor immigrants.
		The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) initiated the Australian craze to depict Ned Kelly as a romanticized freedom fighting hero, only to find itself banned in the state of New South Wales for fear that it would inspire criminal activity.
		By far the most iconic Kelly artifact on and off screen is the bucket-shaped helmet worn during his final showdown with the police.

		Best known for his role as Legolas the elf in "The Lord of the Rings", the young actor was initially under the impression that the Kelly Gang was a bunch of young guys travelling around, shooting guns and generally causing havoc.
		There are fictional stories and factual information - I basically took pieces of information that would help me, so that I could develop and build a character around that, like the way the police described Joe Byrne.
		He was described as a poet, and quite a thinker, he was the most educated of the gang, but a dangerous man at the same time.

	New Histories of the Kelly Gang: Gregor Jordan's Ned Kelly
		There are hints that the Kellys were seen by the authorities as the leaders of a more general rebellion, that is, that their exploits were considered to be subversive rather than merely criminal.
		The gang are associated with knowledge of the environment, signified by the (rather excessive) depiction of native birds and animals as well as by their familiarity with the land and their ability to disappear into it.
		Kate Kelly has always been something of a heroine – the one who carried messages to and fro through police cordons, who resisted the advances of a flguard, who held the family together while her mother was in prison and her brothers on the run.

		THE STORY OF THE KELLY GANG is believed to be the world's first feature length film.
		The most remarkable shot is probably when a priest, carrying a wounded man over his shoulder, walks toward and just past the camera, creating a strong sense of drama and movement.
		The final shoot-out scene is also well filmed - with Ned Kelly moving, and shooting, toward the camera, as troopers flee to the sides.

		Born in Victoria in 1855, Ned Kelly was the son of an Irishman who went from being a young troublemaker to Australia's most wanted, and wound up being romanticised and even idolised as one of Australia's most interesting historical figures.
		As the years pass, the story quite probably becomes a little more distorted and facts meld with opinions and theories to leave us with several interpretations about the gang's movements and principals, as well as their eventful and dramatic end.
		When a drunk Constable Fitzpatrick (Kiri Paramore) showed up at the Kelly household to make a move on Ned's sister Kate (Kerry Condon), the family, minus Ned who claimed he was elsewhere at the time, resorted to physical blows to run him from their house.

		At the age of 15, Ned was first brought before the Police Court on a charge of assault on a fowl and pig dealer named Ah Fook, and secondly with aiding the bushranger Harry Power in some of his robberies.
		This consequently led to the murdering of three policeman sent to arrest the two Kelly brothers and as a result implicated two of their friends.
		On June 27th 1880, the day after the shooting of Aaron Sherritt, the Kelly gang bailed up Glenrowan, cut the telegraph wires and forced the railway workers to rip up the line.

		The salty, colloquial, unpunctuated style of Kelly's journal is reproduced with great skill, as Carey recounts the outlaw's early life with a cross-dressing, Irish immigrant sheep worker, and a beautiful but headstrong mother, always on the wrong side of the law.
		True History of the Kelly Gang is the song of Australia, and it sings its protest in a voice at once crude and delicate, menacing and heart-wrenching.
		At the same time there is humanizing, for Kelly has a strong attachment to his mother and forges a new relationship with his brother Dan as the Kelly Gang heads towards its fate.
