Ned Kelly at the Waterfront!

'Ambush: Ned Kelly and the Stringybark Creek murders', a Victoria Police Museum touring exhibition, is currently on display at the Alfred Deakin Prime Ministerial Library until 6 May 2011.

This exhibition focuses on one of the Kelly Gang’s most horrific crimes: the murder of three policemen at Stringybark Creek in October 1878.  A number of never-before-seen objects are on display – including Ned Kelly’s blood-stained cartridge bag and a hand-drawn map of the Stringybark Creek ambush site – allowing you to investigate this case through the eyes of the only surviving witness.
