Ned Kelly Australian Ironoutlaw

Ticket Stub Douglas Stewart's 1956 play Ned Kelly from the Elizabethan Theatre Company followed the highly successful Summer of the Seventeenth Doll. It was supposed to be performed in Melbourne at the time of the 1956 Olympic Games. However, despite excellent reviews, the play closed down in Sydney after only two weeks... I am sure Leo McKern would not be pleased to be reminded of the event!

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.
