re.Statue of Ned Kelly
From: Mark Perry [mperry@cospak.com.au] 08 Feb 10
I agree with Lynden on the statue. It would be nice to see some thought, planning and taste go into a statue instead of the Bob Hempel type rubbish there at the moment. Along the lines of Benallas Weary Dunlop Memorial in their Rose Gardens maybe? Or Pt Lincolns Maykbe Diva? Gundagais Dog on Tuckerbox....Urallas Thunderbolt statue... There are plenty of examples where a town gets its memorial right. My point us, somrthing not oversize, brightly painted and garrish. Considering the Glenrowans Siege site is one of our most significant places I believe the memorial should reflect the gravity of this. Unfortunately, the Big Ned statue doesn't quite cut it for me. (sorry Chris and Rod.) Just my thoughts. Cheers. What about a statue AND the return of the armour. A win, win...

Perhaps Glenrowan already has enough Ned Kelly statues, Lynden Cole? How about a fitting tribute to the whole Kelly Gang by working towards getting the four suits of armour permanently reunited and displayed together like they should be?

Statue of Ned Kelly
From: Lynden Cole [lynden.cole@live.com.au] 05 Feb 10
I am interested in gathering peoples thoughts and comments with having a life size bronze statue of Ned Kelly erected at Glenrowan. My hope is to see a completed statue on the site where he made his last defiante stand. This statue would be a tribute to a man who did what he had to do back then. The statue would be realistic true to life and not an abstact, standing tall with him wearing his helmet, overcoat and taking aim in the correct direction, mounted on a locally made granite base with descriptive plaques mounted to the base. This would be a tribute to probably one our most famous individuals. As Ned Kelly does not have a proper burial site or any tribute in his honour. Please lets get something happening as this is the 130th year of his final year. I would like to see a smooth progress towards completion as soon as possible. I need assistance in all areas of design, planning, approvals, funding, promotion, awareness etc. Please respond only positive and constructive replies.Thank You for your time.

Ned Kelly Prints

Hi, I was wondering if you have any other photographs/prints of Ned Kelly that aren't displayed in your current shopping page. Any information on available prints would be appreciated. Thanks. There's plenty of images of Kellyana out there but not a lot of Ned...

Dear Mr Webb, It’s so nice to see that you have finally returned from your seemingly eternal and most elongated vacation, however, I have been deeply hurt by your cruel and malicious remarks directed at a poor old chap struggling to make ends meet through his diminishing twilight years. To insinuate I drink cheap red wine has cut me to the very quick. I will have you know Mr Webb I have forked out up to $8.50 for a top shelf Cab. Sav, and have been known to lash out, and not give a damn, for a bottle of a fine imported drop amounting to, might I be so bold $10.50. But you are right dear young fellow in what you say. I sometimes reflect on the good old days when a hard years harvesting had been done, and a week of celebration and well earned rest was to begin. It was the time for annual Christmas holidays with family and celebration, and oh, how I wallowed in that one weeks time of rest with my family. Mr Webb, they were the days. I can understand how you must feel after only six weeks of annual celebration, and consuming outrageous quantities of spirit, imported beer, and wine as you sit back and take in once again a defeat for the land that is OZ, and a victory once more for some foreign country in the Australian Open Tennis on your 48 inch plazma screen. Thank god Mr Webb for the Australian cricket team! But I can assure you Mr Webb, after receiving an uplifting phone call of encouragement from my dear and well heeled friend Mr O’Keefe, and with my spirits spiralling forth regardless of the money he had made me spend at the David Jones Emporium, I shall make sure I fill your Ironoutlaw feedback pages once again this year. I look back on my shortcomings and sigh out loud Mr Webb…..SUCH IS LIFE!! Good to see you're finally off the metho!

Hello! Is Anybody Out There?
From: Alan Crichton [rcr87285@bigpond.net.au] 23 Jan 10
Dear Mr. Webb, since the 15th of last year I have been, unlike some inebriated lost souls, wandering aimlessly in the historious and most bigness of infinity that we have all come to know as Kelly cyberspace. If you would be so kind to inform me....has there been a most dastardly alien attack on Ironoutlaw, or has some other catastrophic disaster that I am unaware of befallen our most revered Kelly website to bring its feed back section to silence? To seek some form of companionship over this moment of silence, I have tried ringing Mister Ian Jones on the telephone number Mr O'Keefe gave us in the last feedback, but in doing so have been somehow lumbered with six shirts, three pairs of pants and a bloody synthetic sports coat I didn't really need. As it is now the year 2010, could we please get back to some serious! Kelly business? Unlike some old rusty retired dudes that stare at the clock wishing it was 5pm so they can uncork another cheap bottle of red and drink their pension away, I do have a day job plus a little thing called annual leave. But I'm back now so feel free to flood my inbox once again!

Hi all, Can anyone provide info on Wild Wright in later life. I understand that after Ned was hanged he served time in NSW with JIm Kelly for horse theft. What happened after this and where is he buried.

Is your Ironoutlaw T shirt available in short sleeves, and not just long sleve? Sorry only long sleeve at this stage. However, with a sharp pair of scissors...
