Bushranger top

top Harry Power, with whom the notorious Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, served an apprenticeship. Kelly's a cult-hero in Australia. Folk group Redgum wrote a track called Poor Ned. It's well worth a listen, particularly the live version recorded back in Rozelle in about 1983. Kelly was hung in the Melbourne gaol. You can dig meals of beetroot from bush-gardens and witness your urine turn scarlet as described by young Kelly under the auspices of Harry Power, up in the high country of Victoria. The experience was portrayed in Peter Carey's novel: The True History of the Kelly Gang. Australia's a lucky country insofar as one makes it. A lot of blood gets shed in trying to make it. In the dark of night. I wouldn't know about that.
