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.

What was Ned Kelly's life before he became a bushranger?
Ned Kelly did not have an easy life prior to him becoming a bushranger, but it is not exactly reason to turn to a life of crime and, later, murder. Ned Kelly was twelve when his father died, and he was subsequently required to leave school to take on the new position as head of the family. Shortly after this, the Kellys moved to Glenrowan. As a teenager, Ned became involved in petty crimes, regularly targetting the wealthy landowners.
The story goes that Ned Kelly was influenced to become a bushranger. His family was not particularly liked by the law, and so when he was persecuted by a few of the policemen, he reacted and decided to become an outlaw. He figured that if he was going to be charged for something, he would give them a real reason.

Ned Kelly was a bushranger, an outlaw, and often such criminals were supported by friends and family. Ned Kelly had several run-ins with the law, and his family often felt that they were persecuted by the police. This was a common problem among Irish immigrants and ex-convicts. The Kelly gang was formed in response to the bad treatment the Kellys felt they received, and they felt they had nothing to lose by turning to crime.

In the new book:
"Australian Bushrangers, the Police, and God".
The issue of Ned and Heaven is explained as accurately as is possible using historical facts of the day.
The book is factual story is about "Australian Bushrangers", including Ned Kelly, who had the opportunity to trust in God, either before, during or after capture. The Australian bushranger may have committed what appear to be dreadful crimes, and as such they became outside of the law of the land. This story is about just a few of these bushrangers, who have had the opportunity to trust in God, either before, during or after capture. Most of these men committed the crime known as 'Robbery Under Arms' and as we have seen from the movie industry, the likes of the story 'Robbery Under Arms' is glamorised to the extent that we cannot but admire their exploits.
This very real and dangerous drama cannot be what it is, or what it was, without acknowledging the valiant and possibly more dangerous part played by the God consciousness, police and troopers, of the day. During a trial of a bushranger a magistrate stated: "Take the case of these constables, were they not brave men also? It is a strange thing that we hear little of the undoubted police bravery, yet, if there is the slightest courage shown by a bushranger, he is lauded as if he were a hero of romance".
The book includes real faith facts of numerous Aussie Bushrangers including Bushranger Power. But I am sure that Ned Kelly is now in Heaven with Christ Jesus, thanks to Ned's confession of faith at the Glenrowan Railway Station.

What happened at the Glenrowan Inn when the Kelly gang arrived?
The 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. When the Kelly gang arrived at Glenrowan, 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.
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.
