## Bio

Edward Kelly was born in rural Victoria in December 1854, third of eight children to Irish parents, his father a transported convict who died when Kelly was 12. Poor selectors who saw themselves persecuted by squatters and police, the family watched Kelly cycle through arrests and prison stretches - the longest from 1871 to 1874 - before he joined the Greta Mob, bush larrikins known for stock theft. A violent clash with police at the family home in 1878 sent Kelly into the bush with his brother Dan and two others; after they shot three policemen, Victoria proclaimed them outlaws. For two years they evaded capture with help from sympathisers, raiding towns, killing an informer, and issuing a manifesto that denounced the police, the government, and the Empire itself. In 1880 they tried to derail a police train bound for Benalla; tipped off, police cornered them at Glenrowan, where the gang wore armour cut from plough mouldboards and held a hotel full of hostages through a 12-hour siege.
