Hi Deb! I truly appreciate the link you shared in regards to Ned Kelly because last semester / Spring 2012 one of my classes was "Outlaws in Australian Literature" ... and, of the books which we were assigned to read, I found the novel written by Peter Carey entitled the "True History of the Kelly Gang" to be the most intriguing.
- on the last page of Carey's book is written "The outlaw had requested that his mother might be released from Melbourne Goal [Melbourne jail] and his body handed over for burial in consecrated ground. Neither of these requests were granted, and the remains were buried within the precints of the gaol."
- so, after reading the info given in the link you shared, it's "kinda cool" to now know "the rest of the story"!
- BC
