About Glenrowan
Ned Kelly was an outlaw. A bushranger, who robbed and stole. After two years on the run, he was finally captured in Glenrowan. The police has anticipated his arrival, and laid siege to Ned and his gang at the Glenrowan Inn. He emerged wearing homemade iron armour including a now iconic helmet, and while severely wounded, he was the sole survivor and was captured alive and later executed at Melbourne Gaol. Posthumously, Ned Kelly has been elevated into an unlikely folk hero and cultural icon, portrayed by some as an Australian Robin Hood standing up against the corrupt and tyrannical police of the time.
