Ned Kelly was the son of early Irish immigrants to our country. Actually not so much immigrants but prisoners. His father was sentenced in 1841 to seven years' transportation for stealing two pigs - which is how the Kellies came to Oz. Lots of Irish came here for the same reason. I don't think the Brits liked the Irish very much. And from all accounts, the feeling was mutual.
