Best Answer

Ned Kelly was twelve when his father died, and he was forced to run the family farm. It is believed he had a few run-ins with the law in the years immediately after his father's death, dabbling in criminal behaviour. He is believed to have become a full-time bushranger in 1870, when he was apprenticed to Harry Power at age 15.
