 |
|
| The
most accurate and lavishly presented story of the
Ned Kelly saga has to be Ian Jones and Bronwyn Binns'
mini-series The
Last Outlaw made in 1980 by
Pegasus Productions and Channel Seven Melbourne.
Filmed on location in and around Kelly Country, it
starred John Jarratt as Ned Kelly, Steven Bisley
as Joe Byrne, Sigrid Thornton as Kate Kelly, David
Bradshaw as Wild Wright, Lewis Fitz-Gerald as Tom
Lloyd, Elaine Cusick as Mrs. Kelly, Peter Hehir as
Aaron Sherritt and Gerard Kennedy as Harry Power. |

We
always knew it would come to this, didn't we? Not just
another fight. It is got to be war.

If
my lips teach the public that men are made mad by
bad treatment, and if the police are taught that
they may exasperate to madness men they persecute
and ill treat, my life will not be entirely thrown
away.

I
could have thrown a different light on this case. I do
not fear death, I fear it as little as to drink a
cup of tea.

death was passed |

| TEACHING
HISTORY |
While not everyone wants to read about Ned Kelly or the ANZACs or
even The Great Depression, we hope they
want to learn something about
Australian History. From the ex-Prime Minister
John Howard to a confused ex-NSW Education Minister Carmel Tebbutt
(see the 'ex' pattern here?) a number of politicians have jumped on the teaching history bandwagon. But at what
cost? From right wingers
to a multitude of meddling State Governments, it seems
everyone has an agenda. We'd like to let the readers decide
what is worth learning. Here at IronOutlaw.com we
present the facts, the fiction and everything in between. It
all adds to the experience and hopefully makes history an exciting
place to be while also proving it doesn't always have to be written by the victors.
