Kelly Gang Replica Armour on dipslay at the Beechworth Historic Court House
On the 28th of June 1880 the Kelly Gang bailed up the Jones’ Inn at Glenrowan in what was possibly a failed attempt at Ned’s ‘Republic of the North-Eastern Victoria’. Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart forged their place in history when clad in bullet proof armour they took on ever increasing numbers of well armed Police. The only gang member to survive the gun-battle, Ned Kelly, recovered from substantial wounds in Melbourne before being bought to the Beechworth Court of Assize for the preliminary hearing on the charge of murdering Police Constable Thomas Lonigan.
The Beechworth Historic Court-House is proud to have on display in its Barristers room, 4 replica suits of the Kelly gang armour.
