Description: From the convict origins of his Irish forebears in Van Diemen's Land to a childhood shaped by hardship in the Strathbogie Ranges, this gripping account traces the making of Australia's most notorious bushranger. Follow Ned Kelly's descent into outlawry through the fatal clash at Stringybark Creek, audacious bank robberies, and the extraordinary forging of his iron armor for a final showdown at Glenrowan. Meticulously researched and vividly told, the narrative culminates in his Melbourne trial and examines how a hunted criminal became an enduring symbol in the national imagination. A compelling portrait of defiance, injustice, and legend on the colonial frontier.
