Young Ned Kelly


I had to blink twice this morning when a young lad, who had a remarkable resemblance to Ned Kelly (complete with helmet and toy pistol) walked into the Visitor Information Centre with his family.
With out question, the Martin family were in Beechworth to do one thing. Any guesses? Yep it was the 10.30am Ned Kelly guided walking tour with our Ned look-a-like tour guide Michael Beattie.
Remarkably the young lad’s middle name just happens to be Ned! Young Ned is the first person ever to wear a Ned Kelly helmet for the entire 1 hour tour!
