Ned Kelly (December 1854 – 11 November 1880)[a] was an Australian bushranger, outlaw, gang leader and convicted police murderer. One of the last bushrangers, he is known for wearing a suit of bulletproof armour during his final shootout with the police.

The little brother of Ned Kelly was a fine horseman, strategic thinker and a far better judge of character than his brother. If Ned had listened to Dan they could have escaped the bloodshed at Glenrowan.

One of the most notorious gangs in Australia's history who operated from 1878-1880 and consisted of Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart.

One of the most iconic images in Australian culture is the climactic moment from The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906) when Ned Kelly finally collapses against a fallen tree and is captured. Here, that incredible visual is presented in colour to add a bit of drama to proceedings.

Born in one of the most tumultuous periods in Australian history, Joe Byrne was destined for a remarkable life. Classy, erudite and handsome, Joe was also a larrikin who could speak Cantonese and was an expert at stock theft. When he teamed up with Ned Kelly little did he know that his whole life would change completely.

Master of the bluff, Harry Power was a bushranger with a proud record of never shedding blood. He frequently baffled authorities with his ability to traverse vast distances between robberies and is known as Ned Kelly's tutor in bushranging. Power disappeared mysteriously in the 1890s but it is believed he died in 1891 though some believe he survived long after that.

Ned Kelly, for those of you who haven't heard of him, is an Australian hero. Back in the 1800's he stood up to English authorities who were fond of picking on his Irish ancestry. After numerous bank hold-ups and shooting a policeman, Ned was caught and hung in Melbourne Gaol. A famous quote of Ned's on the day of his death is "Such is Life". With his pompadour hair and bushy beard, it recently occurred to me that Ned was the first hipster which is what inspired this design.

One of Australia's most notorious bushranger gangs, the Kelly gang comprised of Ned Kelly, his little brother Dan and their friends Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Between October 1878 and June 1880 they were the most wanted men in the British Empire until they had one final stand-off with police at Glenrowan.

Steve Hart was a jockey and larrikin who threw away a respectable life to take up arms with his mate Dan Kelly as a bushranger. Aggressive and impulsive, Steve was effectively the gang's attack dog, helping Ned to persuade his victims into cooperating.
