by Paula Hunt

Cover of Outlaw Son

These are Our Stories. From bushrangers and prime ministers to how Australian inventions have changed the world.

At 12 years old he was in trouble with the police. As a teenager he rescued a boy from drowning.

He was a bank robber, a thief and a murderer. But those who knew him described him as a ‘kind man’ and a ‘gentleman’.

There is one thing most people would now agree on. Ned Kelly is the most famous bushranger in Australia’s history.

Here is his story.
