Colorized Mugshots of Australia's Most Notorious Female Criminals of the 1920s

THE pubs we visited on our road trip to Sydney’s inner-west in 2019 started their trading life as working class, blue collar establishments. The four pubs all opened over a century ago, frequented by wharfies, factory workers and customers well-known for their hard drinking and tough attitude.

Read our review and the history of the three pubs at the Time Gents website:

NED KELLY

NED KELLY

1854-1880

Australian Bushranger

            Ned Kelly was born into an Irish family in Victoria, Australia. His father died in prison and the family struggled to survive.

            Kelly was first arrested in 1870 for stealing horses and was imprisoned for three years. In 1878, he fled into bushland after the attempted murder of a police officer at the Kelly’s family home. He and his brother Dan and two others killed three police officers, and they were proclaimed outlaws. The group committed armed robbery and murdered a friend who turned police informer.

            Kelly denounced the police in a letter as well as the Victorian government and British Empire.

            The group failed to derail and ambush a police train, he and his gang dressed in homemade suits of metal armour. The group went into a violent confrontation with Victorian police at Glenrowan on 28 June 1880. They were all killed except for Kelly, who was seriously wounded and captured.

            Kelly was tried and convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. Kelly was hanged at the Old Melbourne Gaol, his final words were ‘such is life’.
