awesome work

[@barryhamm3414]

There is a family story that one of my ancestors came across Ned at a bush camp somewhere in the Tallangatta district. They shared a cup of tea and according to the story Ned was a gentleman but not one to get into an argument with. As I lack evidence that might be true or it might just be another Kelly tale.

[@frenchys_prospecting]

Its not impossible but it is implausible. Still, as my dad Mark "chopper" Reid said: "never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn"

[@redtobertshateshandles]

My grandmother in law told me that bushrangers used to stay at the family home. My mother in law said that they only stopped by. We found out that one of the women actually married and had a kid with a bushranger. I believe your story.

[@chrisleach3958]

My father spoke of an elderly friend of his mother’s who remembered as a young woman met Ned Kelly while she was collecting wildflowers with her mother just outside of Maldon. The two women shared a picnic they had with the riders and only related the story several years after Kelly‘s death.. So it seems he was in the district at some stage.

Excellent production

[@ray.shoesmith]

You two do a great job! 👏

[@THECutto]

Good story, well put together. Thoroughly enjoyed it

[@petermilley]

Good one John !

[@andresinnett4319]

Ned was not a bushranger , he and his community were revolutionarys , this is why the eastern peoples of Victoria were hated so much by the government , he wanted Victoria to be a republic , it all started after the murder of miners at the ureka stockade massacre !!!!!!!!!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

They were Irish Catholic resisters to British authority. I'm 50% Irish Catholic and 50% English. I see it.

[@pyrobob208]

Agree fully.

[@billmago7991]

deluded ..he was a bushranger...if you rode by on your horse he or his gang would have robbed you of your horse

[@reiganscott-palframan7281]

And he used farmers for food etc then paid with stolen goods (saddles etc). He was trash.

Ned did so much travelling back in the day he's come to be known as the "third Leyland brother"... TRUE !!!😅😂😂

If you want a couple of other mysterious tales 1 the lady of the swamp in Tarwin Lower South Gippsland & another one is lost pirate gold hidden in the upper parts of the Franklin River in South Gippsland as well ( there was some gold hunters chasing it for a few years)

Great work thank you...oh and while you are in Maryborough one day research the travells of Mark Twain , (Samuel Clemments)?

Mary Anne was a lady compared to some that I could name.R.I.P.

[@rossbaldwin4611]

Why don't they exume the body "s of steve heart and Dan Kelly "DNA" to disprove the romors that they escaped the fire " at the hotel , it was known that they carried stolen police uniforms & and that they put these on" and snuck out the back or side door" in the thick smoke, descisd as police ? And that the burnt body "s were decoys , to make it look like they sueasided , there was also talk " that Dan & steve " were home asexual, & then there's a tale that the were seen just out side of Mitchell " QLD & that they joined , the army and fought in the trenches in France ww1 ? Other soldiers there in the trenches said these two soldiers were allways hell" ing out " who was the greatest Australian that ever lived " and they would roar out Ned Kelly ? & it is said that both these soldiers had terrible burns on their bodies ? Worth a thought " 😮 ??? 20:58

[@nannypetra3407]

Ned Kelly's last words is inspiring to some who understand persecution then and now, they were spoken from hardship and struggles of early life in Australia 😮 to a young man's death 😢 those words still reflex on any situation that happens today ❤ yes a misunderstood Rouge who payed a price 😢 His infamous Words cut right to the truth !!!!!! "SUCH is LIFE" ❤hapy😊trails❤

[@THECutto]

Yes, but of course he never said these words. Well he may have, but the witnesses to his hanging were not close enough to hear anything he might have said. The words were made up by a journalist from the age

[@pelicanvibe]

I grew up in Maryborough and my first cousins are descendants of Joe Byrne. They were also located in the Avoca region. Interesting that Steve hart was mentioned as maybe attending the school there for a year as Joe Byrnes family were definitely in the region. My cousins’ surname is Byrne and that should be easy to trace as there were multiple generations living together.

[@VictorianHistoryAdventures]

We did look at the idea that Edwin Craucour got the story wrong and it should have been Joe Byrne not Steve Hart. We contacted Avoca Historical Society but they didn't respond with anything on Joe Byrne or his father Patrick. We did find a Patrick Byrne at Avoca in 1860s but couldn't prove if it was the same one. Do you have proof, dates, locations? - John

[@pelicanvibe]

@ I’ve been giving it thought since posting here. I’d really need to speak to my cousin for accurate information, but I know they lived in Avoca in the 80s and 90, because I was in Mary bough then. It is my cousins’ grandparents ( our mothers were sisters) so it was their father’s parents and a sister named Pat lived with the grandparents. I believe they lived into their 90’s. So I would say the grandfather, where the name Byrne name is carried, would have been born in the early 1900s. I feel his name was Willie but I could be wrong. His son, my uncle by marriage was Richard, referred to as Dick. He died in Maryborough around 2013. I’ve sent a message to my cousin because I spoke with her about the connection at a family reunion in Maryborough in August but I can’t remember the grandparents first names. We called them nana and pa Byrne and the grandfathers mother lived into her old age too as I was born in 1971 and knew her as big nanna Byrne. She would have married into the Byrne family. The joe Byrne connection was often spoken about, it was just known within the family. They were very nice and honest people, I don’t think they were proud or boastful of the relationship, it was just their family tree. So I don’t have “proof” so to speak, it’s just what is known in the family history. You will find Richard later lived and died in Gladstone Street and if you follow his lineage, that’s the path. Richard and Patricia’s father (maybe Willy) is the direct relative. I will let you know if my cousin can confirm the names.

[@tonywilkey4369]

Thanks for the story very interesting, we may understand in this day and age with our incompetent goverment how a Ned Kelly came to fruition.

[@darrenbrown5248]

Dan went to Maryborough after the fire he did not die in the fire know that for a fact

[@robm4834]

Famous definitely, notorious is excessive. Extremely intelligent and literate which is way more than most people of the Time. Australia's first anti-hero.

[@johndownie9385]

Wasn’t she married to Santa ??was that before or after this story😊

[@VictorianHistoryAdventures]

Yes, one of the knockers in Maryborough said they made up the name Claus because it was just before Christmas. We at least proved she was a real person. - John

[@dogphlap6749]

Glenrowan Victoria is1,712km from Maryborough Queensland. Would it be feasible to cover that distance (probably double as a return trip of 3424km) at a pace that would not damage the horses the 3 outlaws had at the time in the time unaccounted for ? I'm no equestrian so I don't know but not wishing to attract attention by stealing horses on the way I assume a slow pace with rest days would be required for such a long journey.

[@M2CAdventure]

Did you actually watch the video? It is stated and shown on maps several times that it is Maryborough in Victoria.

[@bushranger51]

@@M2CAdventure Obviously they didn't, I'm an old Maryborough Victoria boy and have heard of this legend, although from what I have heard about it was he did stop over in Maryborough, on his way to Ararat, as he had a cousin who lived over there and decided to hold out there for a bit. The place he supposedly (and I do mean supposedly, as it's just hearsay) stabled his horses, is now a Motel near the junction of the Ballarat-Avoca roads.
