Descripción

Welcome to Season 3!  I wanted to come out of the gates swinging this time and, Ned Kelly is someone who came and went down swinging. He started life as the son of an Irish criminal who was kicked out of his home country for stealing pigs and sent to the world’s largest prison; Australia. Ned grew up rough, Dad died when he was young, and he spent a lot of time with his Mom’s side of the family who were all criminals for the most part. This would lead him to become the most notorious and famous criminal in Australian history.
