"NED KELLY CAME BY"

"My name is Mary Devine. My husband is the Senior Sergeant of Police of the Jerilderie District. This is a photo of my husband and I taken outside the Jerilderie Cobb & Coach office, taken by a travelling photographer passing through the town of Jerilderie. If someone had said to me that I would be walking down that same street sometime later, with a member of the Kelly Gang, dressed in my husband's uniform, I would have dismissed it as "Wild Fantasy".

From Saturday evening of the 8th February 1879 until Monday evening on February 10th, 1879, the Kelly Gang carried out an audacious raid on the Town of Jerilderie, robbing the Bank of New South Wales of 2140 pounds, holding more than thirty residents hostage, locking the police in their own cell and where Ned Kelly attempted to have his famous "Jerilderie Letter" published.

Written, produced and performed by Christine Middleton, this 90 minute Multimedia production has been described as "a superb drama".
