    Ned Kelly was an Irish-Australian bushranger who lived in colonial Victoria during the 19th century. He came from a poor family and felt he was a victim of injustice under British rule. Bushrangers at the time were escaped convicts who hid out in the Australian bush. Kelly and his gang committed several robberies and killed three police officers, making him public enemy number one. He was eventually arrested and hanged for his crimes. Historians still debate whether Kelly should be seen as a folk hero or criminal.

    Bushrangers were originally escaped convicts in the early years of the


    British settlement of Australia who used the Australian bush as a refuge to hide
