Sick of Ned Kelly

We all know Ned Kelly. In fact, we’re pretty tired of hearing about him. Australian history is filled to the brim with these sorts of stories — white-washed and not even that old. So where are the parts of Australian history that haven’t been told? Where are the stories told by those and about those that aren’t white, British men? In this episode of Uncurated, Rebecca Pridham and Maya Pilbrow look at six small photographs depicting the aftermath of the Glenrowan siege, only to discover Ned’s indigenous counterpart and a side of Australian history that stretches back far beyond any settler.
