"Such is Life"-- Good Old Ned Kelly

The site of Australia's famous, or infamous, Ned Kelly is "being scraped, dug and sifted" in attempt to find artifacts of the site where Ned and his group were captured or killed after wearing suits of armor to battle colonial authorities.

The batttle occurred June 28, 1880 in Glenrowan.

Another excavation site at the old Pentridge Prison exhumed some 20 sets of human remains anf these is the hope that one of them might be that of Ned Kelly. Ned was hanged for his crimes on November 11, 1880.

Looking at a picture of him in the article remonds me of John Brown.

Good Ol' Ned. --Da Coot
