In 1878 Ned's mother Allen was accused of attacking the police officer Fitzpatrick. Ned was accused of shooting the same policeman on his wrist, so Ned and his brother Dan fled to a bush founded by Kelly Gang to which Stevehart and Joe Bourne joined. Regardless of the fact, Fitzpatrick's final result was that Mrs. Kelly was sentenced to three years imprisonment and said he received a £ 100 reward for Ned Kelly's arrest. At that time, "Kelly Gang" stayed in the bushes. On 26th October 1878 they met a group of policemen camping on Stringy Bark Creek. Gang asked the police to surrender Ned and Dan, so they asked them to surrender, but the police resisted, the three policemen were shot. After three police officers were found dead, the compensation for capturing Kelly Gang immediately rose to $ 2000 and then rose to $ 8,000.

Ned Kelly was born in Beveridge in the northeast of Melbourne in June, 1855, and attracted public attention as Bushman in the late 1970s. He was hanged in Melbourne on 11th November 1880. Kelly may be the most famous folk hero in Australia, the iconic armor worn by his gang is known as the event surrounding Glenrodan (or final position). But Ned incorrectly calculated that the train would come from Benalla instead of Melbourne. It took 31 hours instead of 12 hours for the train to arrive at Glenrowan. He thought that it was necessary to organize police officers and depart from Benalla. This led to a long and unreliable wait time. And it made Ann Jones Inn accommodate more than 60 hostages for a long time.
