Edward "Ned" Kelly - (approx 1854-5 (DOB uncertain) - 11 November 1880) is Australia's most famous bushranger, and, to some, a folk hero for his defiance of colonial authorities.
He, and the distinctive tin armor he wore for his final unsuccessful stand against the police, were the subject for a famous series of paintings by Sydney Nolan.
Kelly's father died when he was only 12, and Kelly began his criminal career soon after, stealing horses.
One of the jails where he was incarcerated has become the Ned Kelly Museum in Australia, and many weapons and artifacts used by him and his gang are in exhibit there. Some people have referred to him as the Billy the Kid of Australia.
