It seems as though everything is fresh and new. The days are warming up, and our spectacular parks and gardens are filled with new growth and colourful blooms. That’s right, spring has arrived and, with it, new opportunities to explore. There’s always something happening in Melbourne – and spring is full of sporting events, theatre shows, live music, and fashion. It’s also a great time to head out of town, with the regions shining. Snow and foggy mornings are giving way to wildflowers, and the weather is perfect for exploring hiking and biking trails. Then again, you could indulge in the produce and wine for which Victoria is renowned. Whether you prefer beach or mountains, there’s an escape to suit. If you’re ready, Victoria in spring has it all. Enjoy Victoria.

  • Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”
    Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents.
