Bushranger Ned Kelly did not die in the Glenrowan siege. Despite his armour, he was shot - below the knees, which nobbled him and enabled the police to capture him. He was later hanged at Old Melbourne Gaol.

∙ 13y agoThe Kelly gang had murdered police informer Aaron Sherritt on 27 June 1880, and as a result, they expected a large number of police to travel to Glenrowan by train. They tried to coerce some of the townsfolk into helping lift the rail tracks, hoping to cause the train to crash and kill a large number of the expected police. Not many of the townsfolk were willing to assist, so the people were rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train. This was how Ned Kelly ended up in the siege.
After entertaining the hostages for hours with games and dancing, the Kelly gang allowed the more trusted hostages to go home at nightfall, as the train was running late. Thomas Curnow, the local schoolteacher, was one of those released, and when he heard the approaching train in the early hours of June 28th, he ran quickly to warn of the danger ahead. This gave the police time to prepare. Wearing their famous armour, the Kelly brothers held a shootout with police. Several hostages were injured in the gun battle and two later died from gunshot wounds.
