About Ned Kelly

Edward "Ned" Kelly (c. January 1855 - 11 November 1880) was Australian bushranger and outlaw who robbed banks and killed three policemen. He and his gang members are noted for wearing suits of bulletproof amour during a shootout with the police. In 1880, after trying and failing to wreck a police train and kill those onboard, he was captured and hanged at the Melbourne Gaol. One of Australia's best known historical figures, Kelly is championed by some as a folk hero and reviled by others as a bloodthirsty murderer.
