NED KELLY, leader of the famous gang, was the last bushranger to be hanged in Victoria. Our authentic memorabilia and displays give an understanding of the whole Kelly story.
The renovation of the Museum has allowed the Society to create a special “Kelly room” will contain artifacts of interest including Ned’s bloodstained sash (which he wore at the siege at Glenrowan) and his horse’s bridle. There are also letters, documents which give an excellent, concise narration of the Kelly story.
The new “Kelly Room” is a work in progress as the Society works towards installing new storyboards and associated displays to detail the Kelly story.
