Ned Kelly is a famous Australian outlaw from the 1800's who fought the law!
"Edward "Ned" Kelly was an Irish Australian bushranger. He is considered by some to be merely a cold-blooded killer, while others consider him to be a folk hero and symbol of Irish Australian resistance against the Anglo-Australian ruling class."
At one point, he was the most wanted man in Australia. It was a time when the Irish were persecuted by the Anglo Australians and after a number of unfair arrests and time in prison, Ned rebelled! To summarise, there was a shoot out at one point and he shot the officers. He became a wanted man on the run.
But he had a lot of sympathisers who supported his cause and would let him hide out in their homes and pubs.
And The Vine, situated about 400 yards down the road, was a sympathiser! I went in on Saturday and they showed me the basement where he would hang out with the Kelly gang.

Another time I did this was today when I met a blue tongue lizard.
And Australian TV and ads are still atrocious.
