Further information The relevant sections of the Act are provided at Appendix 1. Glenrowan Heritage Precinct 2 VHR number: VHR H2000 Hermes No: 4073 Statement of recommendation from the Executive Director, Heritage Victoria to the Heritage Council of Victoria Reasons for registration on 28 November 2002 The State level cultural heritage significance of the Glenrowan Heritage Precinct was recognised on 28 November 2002 by its inclusion in the VHR (VHR H2000). The Precinct was identified as being of historical significance at the State Level for its association with the notorious siege which lead to the capture of Ned Kelly and the deaths of his other gang members Joe Byrne, Dan Kelly and Steve Hart in June 1880, and for its archaeological significance for its potential to reveal artefacts from the siege event. Amendment application made on 22 June 2021 On 22 June 2021 the Executive Director made and accepted an application to amend the registration of the Glenrowan Heritage Precinct (VHR H2000) by adding land and permit exemptions. The following two additional parcels of land were proposed for inclusion within the extent of registration: • Former Stationmaster’s House, western land parcel (approximately 7,485m2) adjoining the existing VHR extent. • Location of the failed train derailment, eastern land parcel (approximately 6,690m2) about 625m east of the VHR extent. Amendment recommendation reasons The Executive Director recommends that the Heritage Council amend this registration as per section 62 of the Act because in accordance with section 32(1) of the Act as it is considered that: a) the State-level cultural heritage significance of the place would be substantially less if the land or any part of the land which is or has been used in conjunction with the place were developed; or b) land surrounding the place is important to the protection or conservation of the place or contributes to the understanding of the place. Reasons under s49(1)(d)(i) The Glenrowan Heritage Precinct is of historic and archaeological significance for its association with the siege leading to the capture of Ned Kelly and the deaths of his other gang members Joe Byrne, Dan Kelly and Steve Hart in June 1880. It is the Executive Director’s view that the additional land recommended for inclusion within the extent of registration, comprising the former Stationmaster’s House (western land parcel) and the train derailment site (eastern land parcel), are key locations where events took place before, during and after the siege event, and as such, contribute directly to an understanding of the cultural heritage significance of the place. If these land parcels were to be developed, the contribution of these sites to an understanding of the siege event could be severed which would result in harm to the cultural heritage significance of the place more broadly. More specifically, subsurface works to the western parcel could result in harm to the archaeological intactness of the place, and works to remove the historic marker or to alter the railway line or surrounding landscape in the eastern parcel, could substantially undermine the State-level cultural heritage significance of the place. Reasons under s49(1)(d)(ii) The Western land parcel contains the site of the former Stationmaster’s House (John Stanistreet’s house of 1873) which contributes to an understanding of the place as a key location of events that took place before, during and after the siege at Glenrowan. The parcel also contains an area of Beaconsfield Parade and road reserve because of its archaeological intactness and potential to contain ballistics from the siege. The Kelly Gang used the Stationmaster’s House to detain Thomas Curnow and his family, and other hostages during the siege. The police train which arrived from the western side of the town (not the east as the Kelly Gang had expected) stopped near the house after being flagged down by Curnow, and it was at the house that Superintendent Hare’s men were informed that the gang was holding captives at the inn. Glenrowan Heritage Precinct 3 VHR number: VHR H2000 Hermes No: 4073 Statement of recommendation from the Executive Director, Heritage Victoria to the Heritage Council of Victoria The Eastern land parcel contributes to an understanding of the place as it contains the historic marker (erected c.1883) indicating the location of the site of the Kelly Gang’s failed train derailment plan. Here Ned Kelly and Steve Hart ordered two rail maintenance workers to tear up a portion of the railway track, in order to derail and ambush a police train and attack its occupants at a steep embankment on the railway line. The police train took longer than anticipated to arrive, resulting in the gang taking many captives in the town. Eventually, in the early hours of 28 June 1880, the police were warned of the gang's presence by Thomas Curnow and surrounded the Glenrowan Inn. After a fierce night-time gun battle which resulted in the wounding and capture of Ned Kelly early after daybreak, the police set fire to the Inn in the afternoon and burnt it to the ground sealing the fate of the other outlaws inside. Additional land proposed for inclusion In the aerial photograph below, the existing registration is shown in yellow and the additional land proposed for inclusion is shown in orange. The additional land comprises: • Western land parcel: part of the land contained within rail reserve and Crown land to the East. • Eastern land parcel: part of the land contained within an area bound by Church Street to the north, Burns Street and Ned Street to the east, Hill Street to the south and the rail reserve and Beaconsfield Parade road reserve to the West. Glenrowan Heritage Precinct 4 VHR number: VHR H2000 Hermes No: 4073 Statement of recommendation from the Executive Director, Heritage Victoria to the Heritage Council of Victoria Rationale for amendment of Criteria The current registration established that this place meets Criterion A and Criterion C at the State-level. The Executive Director recommends that the place also meets Criterion G and Criterion H at the State level for the following reasons. Criterion G: Strong or special association with a particular present-day community or cultural group for social, cultural or spiritual reasons The Kelly Gang siege was highly publicised in its day, and area now known as the Glenrowan Heritage Precinct became a tourist attraction in late nineteenth-century Victoria. The events of June 1880 represented one of most well documented moments in the state’s history, inspiring numerous works in the arts and popular culture.

Edward ‘Ned’ Kelly was born in Beveridge, Victoria in 1855. Ned’s mother was and his father was John ‘Red’ Kelly, an ex-convict. He was their eldest son of eight children. As a child, Ned rescued another boy from drowning. The boy’s family him a green silk sash in recognition of his . Red Kelly died when Ned was young and Ned was left to provide for the family. He worked cutting timber, breaking in horses, mustering cattle and fencing. During his teenage years, Ned got in trouble with the police. In 1878, Ned felt that his mother was put in prison wrongfully and he was being harassed by the police, so he went into the bush to hide. Together with his brother Dan and two others, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, they became the Kelly Gang. The Gang was after killing three policemen at Stringybark Creek. This meant that they could be shot on sight by anybody at any time. For two years, the Gang robbed and avoided being captured. At the Jerilderie Bank robbery in 1879, with the help of Joe, Ned wrote a famous telling his side of the story. Many struggling small farmers of north-east Victoria felt they understood the Gang’s actions. It has been said that most of the takings from his famous bank robberies went to help his supporters, so many say Ned was an Australian Robin Hood.

  • Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’S True History and the Myths That Haunt Us
    Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’s True History and the myths that haunt us Marija Pericic Master of Arts School of Communication and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne November 2011 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (by Thesis Only). Abstract Ned Kelly has been an emblem of Australian national identity for over 130 years. This thesis examines Peter Carey’s reimagination of the Kelly myth in True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). It considers our continued investment in Ned Kelly and what our interpretations of him reveal about Australian identity. The paper explores how Carey’s departure from the traditional Kelly reveals the underlying anxieties about Australianness and masculinity that existed at the time of the novel’s publication, a time during which Australia was reassessing its colonial history. The first chapter of the paper examines True History’s complication of cultural memory. It argues that by problematising Kelly’s Irish cultural memory, our own cultural memory of Kelly is similarly challenged. The second chapter examines Carey’s construction of Kelly’s Irishness more deeply. It argues that Carey’s Kelly is not the emblem of politicised Irishness based on resistance to imperial Britain common to Kelly narratives. Instead, he is less politically aware and also claims a transnational identity. The third chapter explores how Carey’s Kelly diverges from key aspects of the Australian heroic ideal he is used to represent: hetero-masculinity, mateship and heroic failure. Carey’s most striking divergence comes from his unsettling of gender and sexual codes.

  • Ned Kelly's Eyes
    EnterText 7.2 CLIFF FORSHAW Ned Kelly’s Eyes i. Image That’s him, that awkward shadow, that black, that’s Ned. He’s painted out as if already dead. Sometimes, it’s just a blank, that slit for eyes. You look right through the man to clear blue skies. Sometimes, that void’s red-tinged with fire or dawn: the burbling billy-can, the day’s first yawn. Sometimes, the clouds in that gash blush with dusk: sky buries its burning cheek down in the dust. Sometimes, there’s a flash of silver, say sardines: that peeled-back strip you’ve keyed along the tin. He has no eyes in the back of his head, of course. Sometimes, he rides away (Black gun. Black horse.) into another picture. What’s forged by smith from black’s still fire-lit then, and riding into myth. ii. Poster Boy You’ve seen those Sidney Nolan paintings? Gawky uniforms riding shotgun through red or ochre. Bush. In the gums, a bucketed head: Ned’s helmet, that famous, awkward square of black. Wild whites, eyes dotted, peepers trapped in its narrow slit. I heard he did the first while on the run: AWOL. Lying low. Military Police. Cliff Forshaw: Ned Kelly’s Eyes 54 EnterText 7.2 Those wartime letters, the Captain’s uncracked morse obliterating words and where you are. Seems like the censor’s ink has blacked Ned’s face or cut it out to hang on a WANTED poster. It grows a beard while registers ping rewards, show cash racked up in magnitudes of zeroes: the price above that head dolorous with silver haloes.

My society has celebrated 31 days of family history with events almost every day and it AFFHO Council 2019-2020 has been very rewarding introducing the public to the role of our society and how it can assist in furthering an individual’s family history. The opening event for NFHM was held in Melbourne on Friday 2nd August and at that event the winners of the Nick Vine Hall Award were announced. Congratulations to the winners and the runners up - listed elsewhere in Newsflash. I understand that the entries were of a very high calibre this year and the editors and contributors of each of the journals need to be very proud of their efforts. The closing event for NFHM is to be held at the Society of Australian Genealogists (SAG), Richmond Villa, 120 Kent AFFHO Officers Street, Sydney, on Tuesday 3 September 2019 and registration is essential. We were fortunate in Auckland to take part in the Auckland Family History Expo which has been generously - sponsored by the Genealogical Computer Group and the Auckland Council Libraries. This year they brought three international speakers to Auckland for a weekend. Dr Nick Barratt, who is currently President of the Federation of Family History Societies, delivered some Membership inspiring stories which enthralled the audience. Cyndi Ingle, who is the creator of the award winning CyndisList.org has been a genealogist for nearly forty years and her talks gave much practical advice and tips and had many making notes for future study.
