Today the Kelly Gang are remembered either as Heroes or Outlaws, whatever your view we all agree that the Kelly Gang were an important part in the making of federation. Many old Kelly relics are recently on sale; for example Ned Kelly's shoulder piece which sold for just over $200,0000 this year (2001),many places in Kelly country are still scarcely scared by the outbreak, like Glenrowan 255 kilometres from Melbourne, the town has a 6 metre Ned Kelly statue, Australia's first live robotic animated theatre, two souvenir stores ,the original site of the siege at Glenrowan took place, including a replica sign-board of the Glenrowan Inn and a replica railway station. A small pistol was found in 1997 believed to have dropped during the siege 121 years ago, a marker marks the spot where it was found. Mr Edward Kelly and his Gang can now be seen everywhere from plates to mugs all the way down to Handkerchiefs, he and his gang are well known, in fact, they are best known Australian Bushrangers.

MY VIEW ON THE KELLY GANG.
My view for a start, you may clearly be able to tell by the way I write and speak highly of The Kelly Gang, I honestly think they were pushed into a life of crime, and didn't take up arms on there own accord, I believe Fitzpatrick was the cause of all this.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.
Some plans for the future is to keep Kelly country in north-eastern Victoria alive, local charity groups such as "The Glenrowan Improvers" have done a good job re-building attractions in and around Kelly Country. You can take a peek at yesteryear with Kate Kelly's Cottage situated at 35 Gladstone street Glenrowan 3765 Phone:(03) 5766 2448, for more info on Kate's Cottager check out or tourism section. Who have built a replica of Ned Kelly's home, to increase tourism, there is as I said earlier" Ned Kelly's Last stand live, animated, Australia's first, robotic theatre, which is a world famous.
