Ned Kelly's Last Stand
About 236 kilometers northeast of Melbourne is the small town of Glenrowan where the infamous bushranger Ned Kelly and his gang made their last stand.
On June 27th 1880, the Kelly Gang took 62 hostages and kept them at Ann Jones' Glenrowan Inn and waited for the police.
With the inn set on fire as a way of flushing the gang members out, the Kelly Gang fought it out with the police. Ned Kelly's brother Dan and Joe Byrne were killed during the siege. Ned Kelly, wearing a bullet proof armour, was shot down and captured.
The last seven photos show the spots where the bloody action took place.
Today, business establishments in Glenrowan are banking heavily on the popularity of Ned Kelly and his gang and business has been good. The legend of Ned Kelly lives.
