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.

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.

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.

Cool and modern yet vintage and classic.

An Outlaw's Journal is dedicated to the memory of Joe Byrne, a 19th century outlaw and member of the infamous Kelly Gang. It tells his story through dramatic reconstructions based on detailed historical knowledge.

Joe Byrne is remembered as the lieutenant of the Kelly Gang, a flash outlaw fond of song, alcohol and opium. An Outlaw's Journal portrays the side of Joe forgotten by many history books: the lover, the poet, a son struggling to live up to expectations thrust upon him in a world he doesn't fit into. Grounded by his love for his girlfriend Maggie, Joe's story is one of drama, romance and tragedy.

On the 26th of June 1879, worn down by constant questions regarding Aaron’s loyalty to the gang, Joe scrawled his mate a letter. Despite it being written, I believe, while Joe was heavily under the influence of alcohol, it offers a clear glimpse into his mind at this time.

A list of the many locations connected to the life of Joe Byrne.

Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne

The journey from best of friends to murder is one that has inspired many artists and authors for more than 130 years. By June 1880 the rumour and innuendo around Aaron Sherritt had pushed Joe to breaking point, resulting in the most tragic of outcomes.

What is the sum of a man? This gallimaufry is a distillation of Joe Byrne - the outlaw lover of whiskey, opium and music.

Maggie worked at the Vine Hotel in Beechworth as General Servant, where she had been employed (I believe) since 1876. While the circumstances of their first meeting are unknown, Joe was certainly taken by the young woman and she with him. Throughout his outlawry, Joe regularly visited Maggie in her quarters at the Vine, with locals believing her lover to be Paddy Byrne, until she was overheard calling her late night visitor ‘Joe’.

Joe Byrne was a literate outlaw and several examples of his handwriting still exist including this signature that appeared in a letter to his friend Aaron Sherritt.

Friends until the bitter end.

Four gallant officers of the Victoria Police rode into the Wombat Ranged in October 1878 - only one returned. The party, led by Sgt. Michael Kennedy, included constables Thomas McIntyre, Michael Scanlan and Thomas Lonigan. They were tasked with capturing Ned and Dan Kelly for attempted murder. On October 26, the police camp was ambushed by the Kelly brothers and their mates Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Three police were murdered but McIntyre narrowly escaped.
