Homework time, Graeme! Off you go and read Peter Carey's 'True History of the Kelly Gang' - I'm sure someone told you about the place of Glenrowan in Australian folklore as the place of the last stand of the Kelly Gang - Carey's book is a great read, and the Ned Kelly story feeds the Australian self-image (largely delusional these days, sadly) of marginalised people standing up to power. - David P (not even slightly envious or jealous or anything like that...)
