This is a strong entry. The story is well presented. It shows that some choices have consequences that cannot be changed. I enjoyed it very much.

This is a very touching tale Aussie, so difficult the lives of young men in the 1800's, you told it well and I came out of the read with sympathy for Ned, for his family and Uncle and a few tears.

I have mixed emotions building up as I read this text paragraph by paragraph.
I don't find the point of view employed in relating this true story disturbing.
It is just right for me. It seems like I am reading a history book written in a lighter manner.
It is easy to comprehend what the text is about.
Questions and reactions are starting to form in my mind now, which I still have to sort and really think about.
I do hope to read more pieces written by you =)

edward kelly sounds like the wild west in america. i don't know how innocent he was. Maybe the cops started it. who knows I wasn't there and it happened a long time ago. Kind of crazy about his head.

Hi there Aussie, I enjoyed reading your story about Ned Kelly. I actually watched the movie several years ago and I felt sorry for him. Being accused of a crime he didn't do and known as a criminal for the rest of his life. Thanks for sharing
