The First Steps | Ned Kelly: Part 1

Spill the Mead

Let's go to Australia in the late 1800's, shall we? It's a ruthless world of livestock stealing, prison sentences, and bushrangers. And it's where we find the hero of our story: Ned Kelly.

In this pro-Ned telling of his life, we begin at... well, the beginning. We set the scene of Ned's life by looking at where his parents came from, and the general struggles of life in Australia at the time.

More specifically, we talk about things like shiny green sashes, sub-par-stakeouts, rat-uncle-Jack, and a Harry Power who isn't too good at ranging bush in the beginning (just stick with him, he'll surprise you).

**Also the show Madi was talking about is called "Banished" and it was a BBC show on Hulu!
