odd fact

I have never had this story confirmed, but by my Great Great Uncle told me once that they shot a Ned Kelly film on his family's property in Victoria. The story goes that the actress playing Ned's love interest couldn't ride a horse, so they had to get a stunt double. One evening, there was a spectacular sunset, and they wanted to get a picture of Ned Kelly and girl riding off into the sunset. However as the stunt double had already left, my great great aunt took her place.

I am unsure of the accuracy of this story, however my uncle's mind is as sharp as it ever was, the property was in the right part of Victoria and the dates fit (he was born in 1916, youngest of 8 and his elder sisters were much older).
