Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly’s Life Truth There is no doubt that Ned Kelly was repeatedly rejected and ignored, which made him the victim he has to be recognised as. Imagine being accused of crimes that you never did, paying fines for fights you never intended to be in, accused of stealing a horse and getting a longer jail time that the thief did and unfairly sentenced to death when you are only charged with one crime. Ned had been in trouble with the law since he was twelve after he was accused of stealing a…

While I was eating I was thinking about who it was at the door. Ned, Steve, Joe, who knows. I was waiting for Ellen or Kate to go get it but no one answered it. Instead everyone was doing their own thing that they look that they can’t hear anything at all. So I had to get up, I was actually upset that I didn't get to…

In “I am Australian” stanza six, line three states, “I’m Clancy on his horse, I’m Ned Kelly on the run”. Clancy is the protagonist from the iconic Australian poem Clancy of the Overflow, which describes his imagined pleasures and adventurous life as a drover and a shearer. The reference to infamous bushranger Ned Kelly again allows the listener to imagine the audacious life of the Australian “bloke”. This effective manipulation of allusion enables…

Arnulf breathed a ring of fire around Modwen's cottage. Clouds brightened and darkened as flames rose and fell. Like jagged barbed wire, the fire barred Bifrun's path to the gold. Flames leaped at him. Run, goblin, run. He jumped on his bicycle to flee when bam. A thought struck him. He flung his bike aside and ran to Modwen's kitchen garden. He ate the peas and the Brussels sprouts. Then he ate the beans. Then? Then he looked for the large white asparagus a good goblin feed. And he ate…

Holmes. The two killers began killing around the 1880’s, and they were able to escape captivity for years. It is widely debated whenever Jack the…

Contemporary Australian identity can be regarded as an invention (White 1981) or a product of its own history. A multitude of identities, like mate-ship, fair go and larrikinism, be it a stereotype or a true reflection, resonates among the Australians. Of which, egalitarianism is one identity that is distinct yet debatable in today’s context. Today’s Australia is not a nation where everyone is equal as there are indeed, clear differences in wealth, clearly defined hierarchies in its…

When you hear the name Australia, what do you think of? Do you think of animals like kangaroos and koalas? Do you possibly think of famous landmarks like the Sydney Opera House or famous people like Steve Irwin and the band AC/DC? The country of Australia is not just big cities, Sydney and Melbourne. In his book In a Sunburned Country, Bill Bryson shows the many forms of diversity in both the people who live there and the fauna of the country, which he explains using his humor. There are also…

Courtesy of the gold rush, Melbourne has been turned into one of the world's richest cities. Despite these major achievements, Melbourne has also been lucky enough to witness many of the dramatic moments in Australian history. On 11 November, 1880 Ned Kelly is executed. On 18 December, 1967, Melbourne saw the disappearance and drowning of the then Prime Minister Harold Holt. Fittingly, Melbourne was also the birthplace of Australian coffee culture. The first coffee house popped up in 1837.…
