In other important Australian news, archaeologists in Melbourne have found a hole in the ground and they think Ned Kelly’s in it, along with a bunch of other crims.

Australia’s most famous bushranger … that means outlaw, you dirty-minded Seppos … was sort of like Jesse James only with a bucket on his head.

Mar. 9 - Archaeologists in Australia believe they may finally have discovered the remains of notorious outlaw Ned Kelly.

Kelly was a notorious bush ranger famous for robbing banks with his gang. After evading police for two years, Kelly and his associates became trapped in bushland in Victoria. In a defiant last stand, Kelly, dressed in home-made armour hammered out of plough blades, walked towards police with guns blazing. He was shot in the legs, arms and groin more than 20 times before he was arrested. He was hanged for his crimes in 1880.
