I love how Ned said to the judge "I will go a step further and say that I will see you there!That where I go."Literally translates to "see you in hell!!"and I'll be waiting for you basically.. What a G.
Redmond Barry's dad was a major general in the battle of Waterloo, 1812. His ancestors were in William the Conquerors army in 1066 that invaded England and later Ireland and eventually Wales. In Normandy, France there's a little village called Barry. He was born in Ireland from invader stock. And Normandy was called that because Norseman invaded and took over the territory!
Always heard of Ned Kelly but never really knew the story. This is the first documentary I picked and I say thank you for everyone who had a hand in it. I certainly don’t need to watch a second one.
As an English guy I have only one thing to say, Good on ya Ned. The English treatment of the Irish was terrible and the disregard of the common people by the elite still carries on today. A man with his heart in the right place.
@@lapalad Do you know that this true and the three Irish policemen weren’t Irish Catholic they were Irish Protestants loyal to the crown a Catholic wouldn’t be given anything remember Ireland was under British rule . Ireland was a Catholic country so once you were Protestant Irish you were British. Ned Kelly did the right thing there family were brought to Australia to populate it and under populate Ireland with Catholics . I’m glad Kelly is in my ancestral linage. Try learn Irish history before you sound really stupid and trackers shouldn’t be helping for people who the British liked to kill .
Billy the Kid was another young Irish immigrant (McCarthy) in a foreign land where poverty and the authorities of the time turned him into an outlaw. He had no other choice but to rebel.
Same here, and the same thing goes for Jesse James, Rob Roy MacGregor, Vlad The Impaler, Tsar Peter The Great, Hannibal of Carthage, Ulysses Of Ithaca, and Alexander The Great.
Ned Kelly was a 2nd cousin to my grandmother Eliza Kelly. Eliza married a Tom Lawlor from Thurles Co Tipperary Ireland where they settled and spent their whole life in the very 1st house they bought.
I wouldn't be lucky enough, you have DNA & MyHeritage would I ?, Eliza is related to my family Kelly. Ned is my GG Uncle. Dan didn't burn either- Ned got him out.
Nearly made my Aussie heart cry... As a member of Generation Y, I swear 2 the older generations of Australians who might b reading this I will carry on our culture and our history, particularly in the fields of the ANZACs and Bush-music
@@robertlarkin2594 I’m fascinated by how our Australian ‘Outback’ cultural identity has been replaced by an Americanised and more generic one. Australia used to have its own style. This is a highly multicultural nation, so it makes sense that a more generic identity suits everyone better, but still…
Im of Gael origin born in England. I've admired Ned Kelly since my mum bought me a book about "outlaws" as a boy in 1968. My grandson is named Ned in honour of this great Gael.
A transplanted Floridian, I moved to SW Virginia in 1999. Ned Kelly and all characters in this story would be in their element in this beautiful area of the Appalachians. Great story, narration and music. Thank you.
Dear John, That's great. I'm Australian/English raised in Australia & I knew of Ned but I hadn't read the story as yet. Very good watch. Cheers mate 😊 🇦🇺
People just don't appreciate how close an Irish republic, North-East Victoria, came to being formed here by Ned Kelly and his other supportive subsistence farmers in this region who reacted the way they did because of the injustices and callous greed of the arrogant large land holders who had the police force in their pockets. They very nearly became the founding fathers of a new country.
I think your'e drawing a long bow there mate. Even if it had somehow been 'declared' as an Irish republic by that mob, it would have been crushed by the large landowners, police and army troops instantly, like they did at Eureka. Also not everyone in that area was Irish or of Irish decent, so these folks probably wouldn't have shown much support.
Wish he was here now to sort this mess out. On a more serious note, the authorities harassed his mother. That was the catalyst. His rebellion was devotion to family.
I remember, here in Victoria, years back, at the state library, there was some exhibition to do with Ned Kelly and they had these little souvenir "cute" type dolls of Kelly for sale. I remember, at the time, thinking it was kind of twisted that a government can execute you and then later your image can be recreated as a kind of toy and various parts of the government can then sell these at a profit (the library is run by the state of Victoria). I don't know, it kind of struck me as wrong. I imagine he still has relatives out there and if he was so terrible you had to imprison and kill him, making various commercial ventures from his story and likeness seems a bit wrong - well, to me anyway!
He has no relatives who knew him, and if someone can't be used like this after so much time has passed, history would be impossible. Seriously, do you really think his likeness can't be sold by the state, or anyone else? Whether the government does or doesn't execute you has nothing to do with it. He's long DEAD, he is a historic figure of some renown, and if people didn't want these "toys" no one would buy them. You really need to grow up and learn some facts about how history works, and how such things promote learning and growing. Really, if you don't like it, don't buy one, but shut up and let the adults have their own conversation about it.
@@jamesaritchie1 Are you being dumb on purpose LOL? He had that many brothers and sisters and cousins of course there are modern day relatives. Jesus sometimes people just don't think before they write OR speak. I'm almost embarrassed for you lot....... almost.
Well people do anything for a few bucks I think Jesse James was similarly exploited. If Ned was a horse thief and cop killer I reckon they would want him executed.
FYI Ned Kelly's forefathers came from a small village called Moyglass. It is in County Tipperary Ireland. My family still own land next door to where The Kelly's came from.
I'd never heard of Ned Kelly till now. It parallels many wild west stories in the states. He was one tough SOB having 28 wounds including one to the groin. Ouch! That hit to close to home for me as I'm currently recovering from inguinal hernia surgery 3 days ago. It's amazing that nobody turned on him considering the 2 million dollar reward.
@@lapalad How you ask? It's called Australian history, try learning it? It was the police who stole land from Australians, including slaughtering many in one of the most heinous genocides in history, perpetrated by Australian police and their supporters. "GENOCIDE" on a massive scale, raping women and children for sport, profit and sexual pleasure, in your face debortuary, all historically documented, people hated them, and rightly so. Trouble is the kin of these Pedo psychocops and their criminal copsucking mates still police and or govern us today. That's what's wrong with Australia.

@@lapalad Seriously Corrupt police force & justice system the only justice was judge dying shortly after Ned People will do extraordinary things to survive It’s amazing how history only remembers the oppression of the poor and not the injustice of corrupt laws 🤔
They were thieves no matter how much spin people put on it. A horse back then was the most expensive asset families owned. And same as robbing money from a bank. Their was no insurance. Robbing a bank was stealing from hard honest people in the area. Ned Kelly had the skills to make a honest living and he chose not to.
The only people who had money to put in the bank were rich land owners upperty MFRS from England . Fair dinkum you ain't Australian or your really indoctrinated by school propaganda. 😢
The fact is a Royal Commission into the 'affair' was conducted in early 1881 & resulted in the sacking of two police Superintendents, a police inspector being retired & several other officers reduced in rank. The charge of attempted murder of constable Fitzpatrick by Ned & his brother Dan was found to be false. Fitzpatrick was later dismissed from the police force on several counts & that he 'could not be trusted out of sight & never did his duty'. The police in the bush were notorious for corruption & lagging innocent men for monetary reward from rich land owners who lost livestock. Any man would do so long as the police got their reward. Many innocent people spent years locked up in hell holes while the police conducted themselves like tyrants - which was also raised in the Royal Commission & was one of Ned's grievances. Just look at the police shooting peaceful innocent protesters in Victoria recently & the brutal way they conducted themselves. Nothing has changed in Victoria.
@@bradwilliams7212 Go read the Royal Commission transcript. Look at the recommendations made to get rid of or demote corrupt cops. But the Melbourne club & rich squatters forced the gutless politicians to ignore the R.C. No justice for a poor man & Ned was right on !

The Government labelled you an outlaw, your people called you a hero, still to this day. Another Irish man , and his family tormented by the Red coats. You were put in an impossible set of circumstances. You , and your Mum. I read the letter you wrote your Mam before they sent you and too many Irish men , to the gallows.

@@DarwinNorthmy family grew up in Ned Kelly territory and he and his mother were not innocent. Petty crimes and thugs. I also had Irish relatives who came over as convicts, did their time, married and lived good honest lives.
Don't blame the Red Coats, they were poor, tough men who knew no better. They were the tools of the nonces in government, who used and abused them aswell.
The music accompanying the story of Ned Kelly was not only moving, but the best I have heard on RU-vid - you would be pushed to find a man like that now, probably impossible ! Rest in peace Ned !
Sam Sabastian 🤔 Hmmm, and would those Father’s you mention happen to be the policemen that went out to Murder Ned ? which presented him with the problem of kill or be killed !.
Theres always 2 sides to every story. Look how the media are today with Trump and thats with the benefit of video evidence not just hearsay. Another case of villain to some hero to others. The truth generally tends to be in the middle. A lot of the music was traditional irish with a flute.

@@bradwilliams7212 The fact is a Royal Commission into the 'affair' was conducted in early 1881 & resulted in the recommended sacking of two police Superintendents, a police inspector was forcibly retired & several other officers reduced in rank.

She went to Melbourne for a 'holiday' (abortion) & at 35, committed suicide due to the trauma.

Thank you for a very well researched account of a story that is of intrigue to every true Australian. I have read many different accounts of Ned Kelly’s story, however this video tells the story in a way that encompasses all that I have read. “I am a widow’s son, outlawed and my orders must be obeyed”
A well put together production. Thoroughly enjoyed. I have read the book written by Ian Jones. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Best book put together of the Kelly Story.
This video is a load of fiction from top to bottom. Ian Jones book is a load of fictitious made up rot from cover to cover. Use is for dunny paper, as that is where it belongs.

thank you for a succinctly and sensitively written Ned's true story. Those w ritten by Americans show no kindness whatsoever, towards Ned, but I think very many Australians hold Ned in their hearts. as I do.
How true overall that's happened and who was involved with ned Kelly's short life he'll always be remembered unlike the hanging judge he'll never be remembered
DUMB COMMENT. Kelly is presently being buried where he belongs. Redmond Barry was responsible for building a number of public buildings in Melbourne. He was a great asset to the fledgling colony. Kelly, on the other hand, was doing his best to tear the colony apart. You have no idea what you are talking about.
My mother's parents were Beechworth residents, her father was the local Beechworth coach & wagon & horse proprietor, my mum's family had very much interaction with the Kelly family & Neds mother visited my Grandparents house on many occasions, my Grandfather's coaches are displayed in the coach museum in Beechworth, I myself spent many a school holiday in Beechworth, & my Uncle & his family were still in the original family home, I sat in the kitchen where Ned & his brother Dan had been to talk to my Grandfather about rigs for horse drawn vehicles, so I'm very unhappy with the way they treated the Kelly family, SUCH IS LIFE!!! RIP Ned Kelly & mates
I like this story as it seems to be non-biased and fairly honest. Well as honest as history can be! Although Ned Kelly was a bad man he was also a man who tried to do right and yet was pushed in some way or other till he broke and sought the easier option that was unfortunately on the illegal side of life. I do understand why the subsequent future posterity, family members, of the killed police officers despise the Kely gang for what they did I can only hope that they are able to understand how difficult life was on the almost virgin land and how difficult life was for those that tried to tame it.
SILLY UNINFORMED COMMENT. Tried to do right, did he? He was found a good job by a police sergeant, who gave him the money to go home and to get to the job. Kelly rejected that job and never returned the money. Tell us all, how come 80% of the settlers who took up the land offered by the Victorian government made a go of it. Hardly doing it hard, were they, if that many succeeded? You are talking rubbish.
As a 70 year-old Irishman , I brought my 3 Australian grandsons to Ned's birthplace. One man's HERO is another man's Villian . Over 25 years , I've " commuted" to the LUCKY COUNTRY , 13 times and seen the lot. Ned's birthplace was my most poignant memory . Sidney Nolan , Australia's most wonderous artists , acknowledged Ned's place in Oz history. I believe , one of his antecedents was one of the " traps" who hunted Ned down , which is probably why Sidney Nolan pays homage and affection to Ned's memory. David Byrne in Dublin.

Very good job here, and the background music was appropriate. I am surprised that no mention was made of his marriage in jail just before his execution.

There are some who will use any opportunity to win fame and fortune even at others expense ! But I wish to give credit to a police officer in my home town ! A big shout out for a kindness he did for myself and my daughter ! Our beloved pet dog Rowdy a miniature pincher who passed away of old age ! We were taking him into the veterinarians to have his body cremated ! Of course we were in tears ! The officers had brought his dog in to have it’s paw seen to as it’s paw was cut !the dog 🐕 was the officer’s partner K9 Patrol !The officer helped us to take our dear pet in by taking him from me and carrying him into the veterinarian office and he stayed with us until all the paper work was done ! I know he was on his way home at his shifts end and was concerned about his own dog ! Yes this may seem a small unimportant happening but I am very grateful for the officer’s help and kindness ! Thank you sir ,you will forever have a place in my heart ❤️ !
what the disgusting hell has your shit dog to do with all of it??? how about thanking this officer personalllly and than buying a brain for yourself??? UNBELIEVABLE WHAT SOME DO FOR FAME....you meant yourself???
I feel it is fascinating tale and as much as people say he deserves what he got . Ned Kelly helped form the Aussies that we know. God bless you you Ned 🙏
it seems common that some folks get smashed by .. Luck.. and then Fate.. but I have to give it up to the locals for Using the Kelly name for Tourism.. I agree.. the lost should be honored.. even if for just future purposes - the State as a whole and the sheep of locals, benefit from the use of the name for tourism.. Kelly has helped sustain the lands he once was Wanted upon.. thanks for the upload.. /
When all the prime ministers and politicians are forgotten, the name and story of Ned Kelly will live on and on in hearts and memories of common men and women.
I'am from Benalla Kelly Country. My great great grand mother knew Harry Power he would call in to the family family farm at Myrrhee, from time to time A friend of mine who lives on her family farm at Lurg spoke of her Grand Father who had said that he had met Ned and some of his brother, they would visit a number of local farms buying supplies for their mother, that she would use in her business, the road that the Kelly's lived on was in their day the main road from Melbourne to Sydney. I did some work on a house located at what use to be called Winton Swamp. I think most of the stories regarding the Kelly's are most likely reasonably accurate. The story also extended into other familys in the district who were also part of the Kelly story.
Ned Kelly's story reminds me of the Molly Maguires and some other American outlaws. The real stories are much more nuanced than the Cliff's Note's versions we grow up with.
Redmond Barry is my great great Grandfather, he defended the Eureka Stockade leader Laylor when he was a lawyer, Barrister and built the Victorian State library. The verdict was reached by the jury and Redmond Barry pronounced the sentence and I believe that he died about the same time as Ned.
@@JasonBlack66 my cousin's are Fitzpatrick and their great Grandfather was Trooper Fitzpatrick! My son has a girlfriend who is a Kelly and yes you guessed it,she is related to Neds family. I'm seventh generation Aussie and proud of it, my ancestors were knighted and we're part of the bog Irish and British aristocracy who went to the Crimean war,Boar war Gallipoli and western France also my Grandfather was one of the rats of Trobruk who fought Italians and Germans and Japanese soldiers. I'm proud of my ancestors as we all should be.
Lawlor who lead the Eureka stockade was an Irishman and kelly was born of Irish parents . As a young boy jelly saved another boy from drowning he was gives a green and gold sash by the boys parents . The green and gold sash traditionally was given to the bravest freighters of the 1798 rebellion . They gave it to show their administration of his courage . Yet 80% of Australians haven’t a good word to say about the Irish
As an American, I really don't understand why Australians would idolize Ned Kelly. He was simply the leader of a criminal gang. What's so "heroic" about that ? As a Bleeding Heart Liberal, I've been a real sucker my whole life for all typed of "causes" but I myself see little here to cheer about. In the 1970's, I despaired at Hollywood movies like "The Godfather" and "Bonnie and Clyde", as well as the more recent HBO production "The Sopranos" because they made criminals look like heroes of some sort. I see the Ned Kelly story as nothing more than that. Stories like this corrupt and confuse the morality of children, and nothing good can come of that. ... jkulik919@gmail.com

Great story and well told. Thanks for posting this well documented tale. I learned something new today and for that I want to sincerely thank you. As for Ned, well, I make no judgement, as I wasn't there.
Am from Scotland & I think that Story is so interesting!! I have always thought he is a brave man because he saved a child’s life & I really don’t think he gets the credit for that,, he should never have killed police officers but I have always thought he was a tough Irish immigrant!
Police back then would do some dirty shit man. He didn't start killing a lot until after they locked that mama up for 3 year while nursing a baby. You lock my mom or sister up pregnant in a work camp and I'm doing crazy shit too.
I always felt that at Stringy Bark Creek the Kelly's went in to disarm the police party and it all went horribly wrong in a split second . If he were as cold blooded as he was made out to be, did he not have the same opportunity at Jerilderie to repeat it ? Also at Glenrowan when he captured Constable Bracken, did he not have the opportunity to murder then ?
Iam Portuguese, and History buff. Because Portugal history being so huge And so important in Human history, i starded studying history, almost ful time, not only Portuguese, but world history in general.

I think it's interesting that police cowardice played a large part in the end of the Kelly gang. Ned expected the special police train to come earlier, but the police were still hiding under Aaron Sherritts bed.
The real lesson here is how "SHIT" the justice system was and unfortunately still is. #nomoregovernment. Although I do quite like Jacinda Ardern. It must be morally tough for her (being human and all) Politicks is like polishing a turd it is still a turd.
My great grandfather was a warder at Melbourne Jail .He was one of the warders that walked Ned Kelly in to be hung. His daughter my grandmother although only 4yrs old at the time told me how her father was to the point of crying and that the majority of warders there were of the same opinion that Ned had been rail loaded.
Whilst in Australia I had retraced many of Ned's footsteps that was 1976 I believe. Drank in his pubs meeting places. Then not to much was marked as tourist sites but that was awhile back. Australia is one fascinating country.
