[@nailezoupani]

Poor old Wally the wombat. One of my favourite marsupials. Great intro Joe and another vividly beautiful scenic area of our state of Victoria. Always love the historical back story. Thank You for sharing this video. Have a great day 😀😀😀👍👍

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it Naile. I think it was a Hit & Run that saw the Wombats death, very sad indeed. Glad you enjoyed the video. Not as such an epic this week as last weeks video. Hope you day is going well.

[@itsastakesything]

[@ThriftyAngela]

Wow, I didn't know any of this. Love history. Well done telling this story. Thanks for sharing!

[@trvlnthru]

This was a fascinating bit of history. I am familiar with Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang but had not heard the details of this particular murder. We love learning the history of places we travel. Thanks for taking us along to hear about the death of Constable Scanlan. And poor Wally Wombat as well, I suppose.

[@FreeRV]

Very cool place. I love ❤️ historical places like this 1878 story of National significance . Great 👍 video

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching my friend. Have a great day.

[@WanderlustAweSyndrome]

Wow, interesting story! The way you guys tell this story along with the music makes me want to know more about this story. It's like a crime mystery show that tells you almost everything until it leaves something out until the show reveals it next week. Keep this content up, guys!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Hello Ozzie, thank you for stopping by watching one of our many adventures. We plan a future episode on Ned Kelly. We do briefly talk about him in our Beechworth Heritage Walk and in our Melbourne Gaol where he was hung. Have a great weekend buddy.

[@GeoterricsOutdoorsAustralia]

The place has the feel of a war grave, almost. Very sombre, but informative just the same. Great job Joseph and Peter.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Thank you Ralph, I hope I captured this well. Sometimes it is hard to know how to tackle a video.

[@SantosChronicles]

Poor little wombat. So much history there. That gang was no joke. And really cool they had a memorial for those police officers. I really liked how you told the story in so many locations, makes the history come alive!!!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Yep, Poor wally...Road Kill I guess. There is more than meets the eye to this Kelly Gang Story. It gets very political. there is always the debate whether he was a hero or a villain. Glad you enjoyed the episode. Thanks Carl. Have a great weekend.

[@walkingwithtamson]

The notorious Kelly gang... Great wee story guys, fair enjoyed that 😊 I remember this from school, cheers guys

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Wow! you learn about this iconic gang in Scotland. How awesome. Great you enjoyed this episode. Thank you for watching.

[@WhereRVStaying]

All ways been so fascinated by the history with Ned Kelly. Not to many people here in the States know about him. Thanks for sharing!

[@samsabastian5560]

Where RV Staying. There are two Facebook sites that relate the truth. facebook.com/Ned.Kelly.Legend and facebook.com/NED-KELLY-False-Icon-108576567525753 Just about every other site promotes this murderous thug. Those two facebook pages are well researched and truthful.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it. It has always been an interesting story which sometimes arises conflict. But the story adds to our history. Some people say he was a hero and others a Villian. There is no doubt about the fact that three Police Men were shot by the Kelly Gang at Stringybark Creek. One of the best reads is "Ned Jelly ( A Short Life) by Ian Jones. Thanks for watching.

[@JenniferLupine]

O my - that was a bad day. I don’t think I’ve heard about the Kelly Gang before- thanks for sharing this interesting history and location. You guys are excellent story tellers! 👌👍😁🌻🌻

Love your adventures and history. Your forest are so different, with native plants we don't have here. Poor wombat.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Oh No, poor Wally! This Wombat was a victim of road kill. Most unfortunate. Given it was a video about death and murder i thought it was a good thing to add as an intro, since we saw it on drive into the reserve. Glad you enjoyed the video Leah. Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend.

[@mdmelbourne6076]

Hi Joe and Peter, great video before I start work, as Ned would say SUCH IS LIFE 😁👍 have a great week guys ATB Jim 👍

[@samsabastian5560]

MD Melbourne Actually, Ned Kelly did not utter those words on the gallows. Just another fictitious myth.

[@mdmelbourne6076]

@@samsabastian5560 I didn't see jesus but I still believe in him, Who knows what he said lol.. I'm sure he would have thrown a swear word in amongst that lol, I would have if it was me 😁

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Hi Jim, glad you enjoyed the video. According to the Book "Ned Kelly , (a short life) by Ian Jones Page 396 and Quote "As he stepped onto the drop, Ned said something. To the 'Herald' man, it was "Such is Life', the words Beechworth's 'Advertiser' attributed to him when he told 'the hour of his death'. The 'Argus' would claim that he said moment later, 'Ah well, I suppose it has come to this'. Suprisingly, the hostile Telegraph might have come closer to the truth: On leaving the cell, and before stepping upon the drop, an expression with a sign, escaped Kelly's lips, which the Warders and the Governor interpreted to this effect - 'Ah well, I suppose' - probably meaning to say he supposed that this was the last of it, or this is what had to come to, but the expression was never concluded.

[@thetravellingwelshman]

Wow that really is so fascinating that you came across such a fascinating place in history! So interesting how somewhere so beautiful can have such a tragic yet fascinating history!

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video, much more to the Ned Kelly story than this. Hope you are well, have a great day. 🤗

Viewing here friends

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Bonjour mon amis.

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Very intriguing. The policemen must have been well respected in order to have a memorial put up for them. I will have to look this up. Thank you!

[@samsabastian5560]

Burning Sands Exploration. The officers were well respected. Sgt Kennedy had 5 young children and his wife was pregnant. He pleaded with Kelly to leave him alone, so he could see his wife and children again. Kelly claimed Kennedy was seriously wounded, but the doctor who examined his body said the shotgun blast Kelly delivered to him at point-blank range was received while he was standing up, so he was not seriously wounded as Kelly claimed. Constable Lonigan was married with four children, and his wife was also pregnant. Kelly claimed that Scanlan fired two shots at him with the Spencer rifle. Constable McIntyre who witnessed the murder, said that Scanlan's horse spooked and reared and Scanlan fell off, and while on all fours on the ground, as he started to rise Ned Kelly shot him in the chest killing him instantly. Scanlan did not fire a shot at Ned Kelly. The memorial in the centre of Mansfield is still there, to remind us all, of the sacrifice those good men made for their community.

[@burningsandsexploration3711]

Hi Cindy, yes these Police offices were very well respected. It was a tragic day.

this was amazing the ferns look amazing walking thru, and i love that there are memorial spots was the mask in the tree itself? thats very cool

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Hi Kali, the mask was placed on the tree, years ago and the trunk of the tree is growing over it. It won’t be long before it engulfs the mask. It is definitely a pretty area.

[@JCharlesoutdoors]

I'm glad the the names of the police officers were memorialized and not the murderers. Too often only the murderer is remembered, and the victims forgotten. This was a very interesting story. I'm more upset about Wally the Wombat ! All the Best.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Yes John, it was sad to see Wally murdered, perhaps a Hit or Run is probably what happened. It is sad to see so much road kill on our roads. Ned Kelly is one of our Notorious Bush Rangers, but was not our worst. I suppose the story of Ned Kelly has been the most interesting, given the times, we had the Eureka Rebellion the year he was born (December 1854) and also it was a time of the injustices that was being done to the Irish under the tyranny of British Rule. Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching.

Yes Wally was a bit of a ding bat 🤪 He should have been more aware that there was a car coming, Or the driver should have been driving a lot slower. 😂 Dad jokes are good Steve.

[@northeastfamilyadventures9186]

Totally faked us out at the beginning, we thought this was for Wally Wombat's death, but there didn't seem to be anything sufficiently mysterious about those circumstances. Love a good historic tour, and murders can be quite interesting as long as one isn't personally involved. I think we're going to have to look this one up and get the whole story now, or is this going to be part of a series? You seemed to hint at the end that there was more to come. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll hold off on the wikipedia search until I know for sure.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Poor old wally was the Victim of road kill. Ned kelly has a fascinating history, which I will never be able to cover everything. A good read would be, in fact one of the best reads is "Ned Jelly ( A Short Life) by Ian Jones. I do include some facts in other of my videos, including The Beechworth Heritage Walk kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWjbmYaLo8Z4a80 I hope to take you all to Beveridge some time and show you where he was born and the house that Ned spend some time of his youth. Thank you for watching and have a great weekend.

[@bradwilliams7212]

@@CowboyJojosAdventures Ian Jones book Ned Kelly, A Short Life is full of fictitious nonsense. On every page, Jones makes false comments. Read The Kelly Gang Unmasked by Ian MacFarlane, and Ned Kelly A Lawless Life by Dr. Doug Morrissey PhD. Then you will get the true story, not the fiction written by Jones.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

🙏🏽 thank you 😊

[@samsabastian5560]

Good effort, but there are a few corrections to what you said. Constable Fitzpatrick did not make any improper approach to Kate Kelly at all. She actually made up that nonsense some 10 months after the event to discredit the officer. There are three sources that confirm what I have said. Firstly, Constable Fitzpatrick said that it did not occur and gave evidence on oath in regard to that. William Williamson, who was present at the home and holding a revolver on the officer, when interviewed by the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police while he was in gaol, confirmed that what Fitzpatrick said was in every sense the true version. Here is the evidence. Q3 nedkelly.info/Royal-Commission.pdf Even Ned Kelly himself admitted it did not happen. After he was captured at Glenrowan journalist asked him if it was true. "Now Kelly, what is the real history of the Fitzpatrick business? Did he ever try to take liberties with your sister, Kate?" Kelly: "No that is a foolish story. If he or any other policeman tried to take liberties with my sister, Victoria would not hold him." (The Age August 9th 1880) Further research can be seen here. nedkelly.info/fitzpatrick.pdf (Researched by a professional historian) We do not know exactly where Constable Lonigan and Scanlan were murdered by Ned Kelly, nor do we know where Sgt. Kennedy was murdered, again by Ned Kelly. The search party indicated that it was some 800 metres from the camp site. None of the actual sites of the murders have been confirmed. I point out that the pamphlet you have, that relates to the Kelly Touring Route, is full of fictitious nonsense. About 85% of the document is mythological rubbish and lauds a very serious criminal. Thank you again for your respect for the murdered officers. It is pleasing to see, for a change, rather than the sanctimonious myths, lies and fiction that proliferates across social media sites regarding this serious murderous criminal.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Thanks Sam for all the information. Much of the information has always been construed and with over time it is hard to separate fact from fiction. Thank you for the info and hope you did enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
