What did Ned Kelly do to become famous?
Ned Kelly was a notorious bushranger in Australia. Contrary to popular belief, he was not a hero, but a murderer. There is a misconception that he was a noble man who gave some of his "pickings" to the poor, but there is no evidence to support this. The reason he is sometimes regarded as a hero is because he was a larrikin who flouted the law.
Kelly was arguably best known for his famous armour. He and his gang members wore armour which was fashioned from mouldboards, which were the curved boards/ metal plates of a farmer's plough or cultivator. Finishing touches to the armour and helmets were made with pieces of leather and iron bolts.

Bushranger Ned Kell, Old Melbourne Gaol's most famous inmate, is variously cited as having been 5'8" to 5'10" tall.
Ned Kelly was hanged in Melbourne Gaol on 11 November 1880.
Ned Kelly had five sisters and two half-sisters. The ones about whom most is known were Maggie (born in 1857) and Catherine, also known as Kate or Kittie (born 1863).
The other sisters were Mary, who died as a baby, Anne and Grace.
After Ned Kelly's father died, his mother remarried, and gave birth to another two daughters, Ellen and Alice.
Where and when was Ned Kelly born?
Famous Australian bushranger Ned Kelly was born in December 1854 in Beveridge, Victoria.
Sources vary. Some say he was born in December 1854 while others say he was born in June 1855.
After the death of the officers (that the Kellys were forced to kill), the police were given emergency powers to enter premises, search and arrest, without a warrant, anyone who was suspected of helping the gang. Innocent people were arrested and held for weeks on remand. Public sympathy for the police vanished and resentment set in - even among those who previously had faith in the law.
Ned decided that funds must be raised to help sympathisers who needed bail money. On December 10 1878, the Kelly gang invaded a station property near Euroa, 27 miles west of Benalla. Twenty-two people at the sheep-station were rounded up and locked in a storeroom. Then, leaving Joe Byrne to guard the prisoners, Ned, Dan and Steve Hart drove into Euroa in a hawker's cart. At 4 pm Ned Kelly entered the bank with a drawn gun, and Dan came in from the rear. Ten minutes later they were out on the street again, richer by £2000 in notes and gold. Two months later, Ned Kelly and his men crossed the border into NSW and struck again. In both robberies, they did not fire a single shot.
It could be said Ned really wasnt out to bring chaos and destruction, he was a anti hero if anything
