Much to see and do
Glenrowan is the home of the Ned Kelly’s last stand. Tourists can walk the Heritage Siege Precinct:
- Ann Jones Glenrowan Inn where Ned and his gang fought it out with Police.
- Police shelter site where Police hid behind trees and in a ditch and fired on Ned inflicting wounds to his arm and foot.
- Gravel Contractors Encampment where Ned and Steve Hart captured the Gravel contractor and a workman and abducted them. Ned thought the gravel contractor would have tools at hand that could be used to derail the Police train.
- Seriously wounded Ned hid in nearby trees about 100 metres from the final siege site
- Ned’s capture site where Ned emerged from trees into a hail of bullets and he finally fell to the ground "I’m done I’m done."
- The railway station where Ned planned to derail the Special Police Train.
- McDonalds Railway Tavern where Ned loved to drink and he had left spare horses for his escape.
