Time Team’s front-man, Tony Robinson joins an Aussie team of archaeologists to sift through the spot where Ned Kelly made his last stand. Robinson thoroughly enjoys the different pace of this program, and does a concise reconstruction of exactly where, when, how and why the law finally caught up with Ned at the Glenrowan Inn on June 28, 1880. Robinson also discusses the age-old question about Kelly’s motives. Excitement mounts as relics of the actual gun-fight at the Glenrowan Inn are located. Even more chilling is the possibility that bones discovered at the site could be those of one of the Kelly gang… Ned Kelly Uncovered, ABC1 at 8.30pm, Thursday, July 9. A great lesson in local history.
