For years, Australians wondered what had become of Kelly's remains. Two years ago, a farmer stepped forward to say he had the skull. To determine if it was Kelly's, scientists exhumed and tested the tangle of skeletons at that second Melbourne prison. The bones of Kelly were identified -- but the skull was not a match ... Such is Life .....

ahhh this makes reading the True History of the Kelly gang worth it

@gamblemadman Well have to agree to disagree Some see him as a crook others as a man who stood up for what he belived in..

[thebhoy32]

@KR181243 Sorry now have to disagree with you he was a man proud of his irishness not because people mite think hes an englishman but because he considered himself an irishman read the letters and notes i have its his own words and to discount what he himself has written is wrong

[KR181243]

My mother was a Jameson Irish descent First Fleeters I'm not anglophobe gamblemadman your knowledge of Australia comes from a book thats what pisses me off being British got nothing to do with it, if anything I'm an idiotphobe.My Grandmother on my Fathers side was a full blood Ngiyampaa women she died in a fire in a tin shack, dirt floor, no running water in 1978 thats190 years after the British ran their flag up the pole in Sydney Cove, Australia has a Black history ... Ned had his reasons..

@ex1le444 sorry mate but we call it the bush... fucking forest what are you

[gamblemadman]

@thebhoy32 He wasn't. I was just pointing out to that idiot that he cant say that Kelly was "fighting against the British invaders" without also reffering to Kelly as an "invader".

He (like lots of other anglophobic twats) seem to think that the Australian police were a British invasion party who were invading the 'nice little Irish australian's homeland'.

Kelly might have disliked the British (as any true Irishman would) ... but that doesn't make him a "freedom fighter".

He was a crook.

[gamblemadman]

@KR181243 And how exactly can you refer to the British as "colonial invaders" without also referring to the Kelly family as the same. Last time I checked, aboriginals didn't have Irish blood i them.

Dont fuck about ... I can see you are an anglophobe.

Your comments give the impression that Kelly had more right to be in Australia than people of British descent. And that robbing banks and murdering police officers was his god given right ... just cause those officers and banks were run by Brits.

[gamblemadman]

@KR181243 Yeah ... that £8000 bounty probably had something to do with him regularly robbing banks at gunpoint ... and then there's that little tripple murder thingy that he did aswell.

I dont know why you people cant just see the facts for what they are. The Kelly family were a bunch of petty criminals ... that is the only reason they were disliked (and harrased) by the police.

The police were heavy handed with Kelly and his friends/family ... so he rebels against the British? Haha.

Please.

[KR181243]

Kelly refered to himself as Irish Australian in his letters because he didnt want to be misrepresented as an Englishman ...

[thebhoy32]

@KR181243 Ned Kelly was an irish australian Who taught of himself as an irishman as he refers to several times in his many letters and notes he has written

[thebhoy32]

@gamblemadman How was he an invader?
