Ned Kelly: Australian Iron Outlaw. He was a Woolshed lad, born around 1. Irish- Catholic extraction. His father died when Joe was around twelve years old, after a working life as a digger then a dairyman.

He was also an experienced alluvial miner and could speak fluent Cantonese having grown up amongst the Chinese diggers, which came in handy during his numerous visits to their opium dens. Joe Byrne was part of the Kelly Gang because he happened to be around on the day of the Stringybark killings. On another day the gang could have been made up from an entirely different cast including Tom Lloyd, Ned’s cousin, or Wild Wright, Ned’s mischievous Mansfield mate, or even Aaron Sherritt. Joe Byrne, however, was no ring- in. He became mates with Ned Kelly in 1. Joe Byrne is remembered as Ned Kelly’s lieutenant. The man Ned consulted on strategy.

Ned saw Joe as a wise, patient sort of fellow unlike Dan or Steve which is why he tolerated Byrne’s relationship with Sherritt, even when others were branding Aaron as a police informer. At Stringybark Creek the evidence suggests that Joe shot dead Constable Scanlon after Ned had blown him off his horse. Scanlon’s ring was worn by Joe Byrne at Glenrowan. Aaron Sherritt inadvertently implicated Joe as a Kelly Gang member when, on being asked to become an police informer said he would consider the deal if Byrne’s life was spared. Of all the suits, Joe’s was the finest, breast and back plates clamped together by side plates in a perfect fit, the helmet with face piece shaped and beaten to meet brow plate above the nose and divide the narrow eye slit into two dark orbits, evoking a Vendel helmet his Viking ancestors might have worn.

Ian Jones The Fatal Friendship. Joe’s high- heeled boots were his trademark, being referred to as larrikin heels during late nineteenth century Victoria. Byrne was seen as one of the most glamorous gang members with his handsome colonial boy charm and his strong opposition to police law and order. Joe enjoyed reading a fine book and was a highly proficient writer.

It was Joe who penned Ned’s words in the famous Jerilderie letter as well as the red inked Euroa letter, sent to Victorian MP Donald Cameron and Superintendent Sadlier. It is also understood Joe composed a number of ballads extolling the virtues of the Gang’s escapades. A verse from one of his songs goes: My name is Ned Kelly,I’m known adversely well.

My ranks are free,my name is law,Wherever I do dwell. My friends are all united,my mates are lying near.

We sleep beneath shady trees,No danger do we fear. He was reputed to have a number of girlfriends in the towns of the Kelly country and, at the height of the hunt for the gang, he used to slip into Beechworth to drink in the back bars of hotels there. All this bravado however, did not prevent him from murdering his one time best friend Aaron Sherritt whom Joe believe rightly or wrongly to be a police informer. He certainly believed he was betrayed by Aaron however history is yet to prove that Sherritt supplied any real information that aided the police hunt. It was more likely Sherritt was trying to line his pockets with some easy money whilst throwing the scent off the real trial. However, what is certain was that Sherritt made the fatal mistake in not letting Joe in on his plan.

Accounts say that, a moment before the bullet struck Joe Byrne dead, he offered the toast ‘Here’s to the bold Kelly Gang!’. Another report states that he said ‘Many more years in the bush for the Kelly Gang!’John Sadlier writes of Joe’s final scene in the Glenrowan pub, ‘We were told that Byrne had been firing, and was in great spirits, boasting of what the gang was going to do. The work was hot, and he went to the counter for a drink. Finding that the weight of the armour prevented him throwing back his head to swallow the liquor he lifted the apron- shaped plate with one hand while with the other he lifted the glass to his mouth. In this attitude a chance bullet struck him in the groin, and spinning around once he fell dead’.

The police managed to drag the body of Byrne from the burning Inn moments before the entire building was engulfed in flames.

Ned Kelly: Australian Iron Outlaw. Sidney Nolan’s Ned Kelly Exhibition was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Heide Gallery in 1. Below are examples of his valuable visual insight to the Ned Kelly legend.

An extract by John Reed, written for the introduction to the catalogue of The Kelly Paintings of Sidney Nolan 1. Velasquez Gallery, April 1. Watch Brainstorm Full Movie there. Michel Lawrence’s portrait of Nolan as Kelly. For those of us who rank Sidney Nolan as one of the two or three painters in Australia of real significance, this Exhibition – his first one- man show in a Public Gallery – is of quite outstanding importance. We believe its value in the history of Australian painting is already assured. Australia has not been an easy country to paint. A number of artists have sensed something of what it holds and one or two – the early Roberts and Streeton – have succeeded in giving us glimpses of it which were movingly true; but we have waited many years for a mature statement to cover both the landscape and man in relation to the landscape.

In my opinion this has now been achieved by Sidney Nolan in the group of 2. That this has been accomplished in language of the utmost simplicity is in itself an indication of the strength of the artist’s vision and discipline, while at the same time it should allow those who are responsive to the elemental things which move us all to find ready response in themselves to what the paintings have to give.
