With a growing interest in True Crime, the Dark Tourism industry is booming. I have invited historian and Ned Kelly expert Bruce Johnson to talk to us about Australia’s most notorious criminal, Edward (Ned) Kelly.
Bruce shares his phenomenal knowledge of the Ned Kelly story in an unbiased way. He talks about why this Bushranger became Australia’s most wanted criminal of the 1800’s and what led to his demise. He is still to this day Australia’s most famous outlaw. Bruce recounts the events to inform people how they can do their own Ned Kelly Tour through North, East Victoria and finish in Melbourne. He explains the locations where major events happened and what is left behind to visit, also what museums to visit to see amazing artefacts, including Ned Kelly’s gun, death mask and armour.
