On the Facebook Kelly places this year the dominant item of interest has been the Unforgotten Image. Ironoutlaw and Ned Kelly Central both ignored it because of personal animosities, but even Matt Shore admitted at the end of the year that the image added nothing to our knowledge of Ned Kelly or to Kelly history.

2016 : The Kelly Year in Review. Part 1
In this Two Part Post, I am going to review what happened in the wider world of Ned Kelly in 2016. The second Part will be about this Blog, but Part one will be about everything else. The contrast is quite amazing, as you will see when you read Part Two in a few days time […]
The Myth of the Lost Cause and the Kelly Legends
General Robert E Lee rallies the men in the Blue and Gray Ive just finished reading a really interesting book called “The Myth of The Lost Cause, and Civil War History”.

The Unforgotten Photo of Ned Kelly
For $8 you can look at this valuable Kelly photo for about 5 seconds at the Kelly Vault. I’m not going to do what the Vault did, and play games with everyones interest in this Photo, subjecting us all to drawn out guessing competitions, exposures of tiny bits of the image, a long slow campaign […]
Expelled from the NKC : the Emails

However I thought it such an important review that it would be better to make it into a Post, so I hope he won’t object to it getting the […]
