Glenrowan
Glenrowan is situated on the Hume Freeway just south of Wangaratta and is the site of the Kelly Gang's last stand. On 28 June 1880 Ned led Jo Byrne, Dan Kelly and Steve Hart against a formidable police force. With the townsfolk kept hostage in the local Inn, Ned's plan to upset the establishment and form the Republic of North East Victoria came unstuck when he was duped by the local school teacher.
During the dramatic shootout, bullets bounced off the Gang's ingenious armour made from the shears of mould board ploughs.
