Richard Shelton Richard Shelton was rescued from the flooded Hughes Creek by a young Ned Kelly on his way to school in Avenel. Richard’s grandson, Ian ‘Bluey’ Shelton, became a famous Essendon footballer. Shelton’s parents, Esau and Margaret, presented Ned with a fine green silk sash which he wore at Glenrowan.

The Kelly Gang have seen their fair share of documents and reports relating to the outbreak. Attempting to list them all would be a logistical nightmare. Below however, is a selection of the more fascinating and freely available pieces of information which I hope you may find of interest. Also included are present day newspaper reports which prove that even 126 years on, Ned still can't keep out of the trouble! If you are interested in some further reading, including two of Ned’s more infamous letters plus what Australia's most famous soldier Sir John Monash thought of Mr Edward Kelly, then head over to the Writings section.

While news reports abound with stories of Ned Kelly's missing bones not a word is mentioned about his stolen skull? Back in December 1978, Kelly's cranium was lifted from the Old Melbourne Gaol in what appeared to be a university student prank. One of the culprits was rumoured to be an ex-prime minister's son, yet to this day no one knows what happened to it. While a dirt farmer in Western Australia claims he has the skull buried in a tin can in his backyard, evidence has consistently disproved his claim. For while he allegedly carries one of the skull's teeth on a necklace, it is in fact Ernest Knox's skull (hence the EK engraved on the skull). This EK was executed in 1894 for murder, after the shooting death of a jeweller's son during a bungled armed robbery. Either way, they are human remains and the befuddled Western Australian police should have confiscated this skull when they first heard his claim.

This re-release includes an extra 30 minutes of special features beautifully presented in a new and exciting cover design. The viewer now has the privilege of accompanying Ian Jones, an eminent Kelly historian and author, as he revisits such sites as the Kelly and Police caves, Glenrowan, Stringybark Creek and Joe Byrne and Aaron Sherritt's secret hide out in Byrnes Gully. The main feature is also an exciting journey through the events of Ned Kelly’s life and the country that shaped it, told through rare photographs and press drawings. Showcasing many beautiful locations of North Eastern Victoria, the DVD provides an accurate guide for the traveller interested in visiting the places where these remarkable events occurred.
