Ned Kelly Uncovered: Why This Outlaw Became a National Icon

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Feel free to correct anything in the comments, I am no historian!

[@achebwahs1111]

You did justice to a very important story in this country's early colonial history. I went to Rutherglen Primary School for a couple of years at age 8 to10. I became obsessed with the Ned and Kelly Gang story. I didn't know it then but I do know now, just how much it influenced the way I viewed the world we live in. For good and for bad. Top job mate, top job.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Thanks so much, it's such an interesting story!

[@achebwahs1111]

@@CapitalistBuddhist Sadly we can draw too many parallels from it today. Banks are still cnuts, VicPol are too. They just smile more while screwing you

So true!!!

Rutherglen aka Struggletown 😂

You speak so eloquently and with such passion. A very worthwhile watch. Thanks Danny x

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Thanks Sarah! It's going to get much better than this, so keep watching. Send my love to all the family 😊

Jeez, last video we were at a B and S ball, this week its a history lesson - top stuff. As a schoolkid in 1970's Australia we got to learn about the bushrangers and the explorers, rather than Kings and Queens. Australian History - how good is it?! Top marks for giving the background to the Kelly story rather than just focussing on the final siege with the armour etc. I look forward so much to your content, its so unlike the usual travelogue variety that most visiting youtubers do. The Australian rural heritage aspect in your content is brilliant, you seem to have a true love for the real Australia that is missed by them in their search for selfie-friendly Quokkas and sunsets over the Pacific etc. I'd love to see your take on the Eureka Stockade, another Australian story that most Australians know little of, other than that we got a flag out of it that makes a cool tattoo. Great video, you seem to have a real love for this country and its people, and that shows up in your content. 5 stars!

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Wow thanks so much for your kind words. Absolutly, I would have done a channel years ago but hate the "selfie at sunset" type of content. Just glad you appreciate it, makes all the hard work worth it!

[@somebloke3869]

​@@CapitalistBuddhistabsolutely, keep your mug out of the bloody picture and just take a photo of the sunset.

What a wonderful presentation of one of our best-known colonial characters. Thank you. I truly hope that the great content keeps coming from you. Cheers

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Cheers mate!

[@Danger_Mouse_00]

Thats well done and going around to the towns and spots as the story continues. Im sure this video will be watched by many to get a full feel of Ned Kelly and his all that led up to his final stand.

Thanks so much I really hope the algorithm picks it up 🙏

Excellent! A piece of Australian history told succinctly with passion and eloquence. Well done.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Omg thank you so much! It was a lot more work but I think it was worth it in the end, hope I didn't get anything wrong!

[@louisaklimentos7583]

A family who live in my area created a Ned Kelly garden and is amazing ! Their letter box is shaped like Ned Kelly lol . Thank you for your amazing video !

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Haha I have seen a few ned style garden ornaments 🤣

[@arranatkinson8348]

Epic video! Turns out your best work is being a historian! More like this!!

Dude, I thought he was going to head butt the camera at the start there, in his opening monologue. Intensity levels are at 10 pints in and someone bumps your woman. Love it.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Haha I get that a lot!!

[@skullandcrossbones65]

G'day as you did not show some beautiful sights I'm gussing you missed them. Powers had a lookout on the ranges overlooking the King vally. Neds home at Greta is between that kookout and Glenrowan. The other sight was Woolshed falls where a lot of gold was found.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

A man can only film so much 🤣

[@petermcculloch4933]

What struck me when I travelled to these locations is how far apart they are.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Honestly it was staggering from a British perspective, over 1000kms!

[@raindog428]

Imagine having 32000 signatures to try and save neds' life.He helped many families.If the irish weren't so discriminated against to the extent of being refused employment on mass,he wouldn't of ended up being a criminal.Necessity is the mother of invention.The movie ned kelly with heath ledger is a brilliant watch,stunning cinematography

I will check it out! Thank you 😊

Can't love this comment anymore than I already do!

Here's two youtubeers channels i recommend that are both good to learn and watch things of Australia and others places. One pack Wanderers and Capitalist Buddhist both are right now in Australia. 😎 One pack wanderers are traveling the west side by a new mazda ute. Capitalist Buddhist just done a really great video about Ned Kelly. You should check these two out for good content.😎

What a legend! The button is next to the share option (if you are in a phone) under the video screen and above the comments. 😁😁😁

[@glennoc8585]

My irish heritage and a lot of Australians of irish ancestry see Kelly as an anti British agitator and later a folklore hero. I personally see him as a murderer and a thief nothing more. He chose his life when many settlers worked extremely hard to make a new life in the colony.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Love this viewpoint!

[@allisalie101]

G'day mate. You spin a good yarn bloke but I reckon someone's been pulling your leg a bit as some of the items you mention aren't quite correct. The Kelly gang were the only Bushrangers to don the armour, it had never been done before and was only ever used once. The train at Glenrowan was derailed due to one of the hostages they had at the pub, a school teacher, named Thomas Curnow convinced the gang to let him go home with his sick sister where he instead ran out and flagged the train down before it could be derailed. There's one or two other small items that weren't quite correct, but for the most part, I'm pretty bloody impressed by what you've done, especially having come from the motherland old mate. You'd be a good knacker to have a beer with I'd reckon.

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

Thanks so much for thos comment mate, like I say, I am just learning myself. If we meet I'll get the first round 🍺 🍻

Gaol is just ye olde English for Jail

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

It is indeed!

[@davidbrown9015]

@@CapitalistBuddhist I just found this quote on the ABC website, "' 'Gaol' was the spelling of choice for the discerning Briton for much of the 19th and 20th centuries, [but] by the 2000's 'jail' had outpaced it." Most of my family is decended from Scots who arrived here in the 1880s. I tend to use "gaol" when my "goal" is to appear a little "discerning" and well educated.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎

[@stewartlee8858]

well she did try to kill a officer

[@CapitalistBuddhist]

I would say if she was trying to kill him she would have picked up a knife over a shovel?? And if someone is doing what he was doing would you not try to defend the child?

Not famous. Just a criminal.

Well done! I think most of your facts are basically correct. This must have taken some work and some time travelling around these sites. A great video. I had already subscribed as I had seen and enjoyed a few of your earlier videos which were more like days out with your mates. Such is life!🦘🦘🦘🤠

Thank tou for the lovely comment. You're right, it was quite a bit if research and I must have done 1300km in a weekend to get to all the locations.
