What an absolutely spellbinding account of that terrible day. The first time I have seen anything from the perspective of the policemen. Brilliant portrayal. I neither think the Kelly's were heroes or demons, just brazen, violent criminals. Thank you so much for a great rendition of such a tragic event in Australian history.

Thanks very much!

Stealing horses in those days could mean the difference between life and death, thats how serious it was. Cattle rustling was stealing someone's livelihood and means of survival. Times were incredibly tough in those days. The police out to arrest these thieves should be remembered as heroes and the gang as low life cowards, a stain on Australian history. Excellent production gentlemen.

Can we get a sequel where the siege takes place at glenrowan ? This is awesome thnx

Enjoyed this depiction of what happened at Stringybark Creek. I think it is very important that the Police involved doing their duty with no evidence of corruption, which is always stated to explain the Kelly gangs behaviour. Enjoyed watching this picture very much.

@@user-ed6nv6ep8h That report written in 2007 was a load of fictitious rubbish. When the Police Integrity Commission closed down, all material went to the Victorian IBAC, and it was promulgated on their website. I had it removed more than two years ago, as I proved to IBAC it was not true. That report still exists on some sites on the internet. Here is the portion of that report relating to the Kelly Outbreak. "The Royal Commission into the pervasive mismanagement of the hunt (the Longmore Commission) shattered a number of police careers in addition to that of Chief Commissioner Standish. Widespread corruption was exposed. The activities of two members, in particular, Winch and Larner, included involvement in prostitution, gambling and borrowing from hotelkeepers, whilst being protected by Standish. Winch escaped criminal charges and retired on his pension. Special criticism was reserved for the Detective Branch, which was variously described as 'inimical to the public interest', a 'nursery of crime' and a department whose 'system of working (was) so iniquitous that it may be regarded as little less than a standing menace to the community." Now let me tear this rubbish apart for you. 1. Chief Commissioner Standish had retired six months before the RC even began. The Commission did not shatter his career as claimed. 2. The 1881 RC document makes no mention of corruption at all. The word 'corrupt' is not included in that report anywhere. In the 1882 report the RC said they found corruption in the detective branch in Melbourne, which was true. That branch had 25 members. Senior police were prosecuted in criminal courts and found not guilty. The suggestion that there was widespread corruption is fictitious rot. It was essentially confined to the detective branch. 3. The report states that the RC shattered a number of police careers. Only three junior police were dismissed. No other senior police were demoted, dismissed or admonished. Both Supt Hare and Nicolson were promoted to be police magistrates. All senior police held their positions. Far too much fiction relating to the entire Kelly story still exists today and should be exposed for the fiction falsely promoted.

I've pawed through every eye witness account and police report I could find for years and have never found that part. Everything I've ever read has said he was defiant till the end even when near death at the Glenrowan train station.

@@jeffeasdale8254 You have no idea do you? You need to research properly. then you might have some idea of what you are talking about. Ned Kelly wounded Sgt Kennedy and captured him and interrogated him for some hours. Kennedy told Kelly that he had 5 young children under 10 years of age and that his wife was pregnant. He begged for his life, but the low life that Kelly was, took was 12 gauge shotgun, and at point-blank range fired into his chest, killing him instantly. He was not badly wounded, as the Dr. doing the postmortem stated that Kennedy was standing erect when the fatal shot was fired. Not satisfied with that atrocity, he then robbed his corpse, taking a gold watch. Years after Kelly was hanged, the Kelly family, offered the watch back to Bridgett Kennedy, BUT demanded a ransom. That is how low they were. Bridgett refused to pay for her own property, and a publican paid the money to get the watch back. The Kelly's were the lowest of the low.
