Work Overview

Ned Kelly weaves together the common myth with lesser known extraordinary facts about the politics, loves and quirks of Australia's legendary bushranger. Cross dressing, pig stealing, bee keeping, opium smoking, devout republican supporting, armour wearing loyal family men - that's just part of the story of the notorious Kelly gang.
