Description
Have you seen Ned Kelly anywhere on your travels?
As we toured around our great country, we have come across a number of objects relating to the memory of Ned Kelly. There is the very famous one at Glenrowan in Victoria but others are scattered far and wide.
Late in 2015 we visited Warracknabeal in the central west of Victoria. Whilst we were caching we came across a former church building - it could have been a school, convent or presbytery, as it had a cross at the top of the highest gable.
We thought nothing much more of the building until something caught or eye. There was a niche towards the top of the gable where a religious statue would have been mounted. To our surprise and mirth the religious icon had been replaced by another icon - Ned Kelly!!
So, where have you seen Ned?
To log a find for this cache
- you must photograph a 3-dimentional object depicting Ned Kelly (photographs of posters, images on walls etc are not acceptable)
- the object must show his armour and part of Ned's body such as arms and/or legs; a photograph of Ned's armour alone is not acceptable (as often seen on a letterbox)
- your photo must be uploaded with your log (it is not necessary to have yourself or a GPS in the photo because it is not possible with many occurrences of Ned)
- and, of course, the coordinates where you found Ned
Each location can only be logged once and each cacher can only log one find for this cache.
So, where can you find Ned?

Good ole Ned.
What more of a prominant place than his last area of freedom.
Glenrowan in Victoria.
This one sits in the main street on the Kelly Land building.
Such is life.

Even though Ned didn't come to Tassie (I don't think); his fame did
Subsequently, This house just outside Parattah in Tasmania uses that fame as a letterbox
Its construction uses natural materials for arms and legs; sheet metal for his body armour and a bucket for his head protection
TFTC and cheers

This Ned was spotted at Daly Waters in the N.T. We stayed at Daly Waters on our recent trip. There were a couple of Neds in town. TFTC

Found bed by accident hanging on a wall in a pancake restuarant in Queensland. Always good to find a locationless you weren't looking for

Whilst doing the GC Dad’s Mt Disappointment Drivng Lesson Trail son dalerious slotted this letterbox on the side of the road, and backed up for me to take this photo..
It was an excellent piece of work. Not only was he holding the letterbox, in his right hand was a gun, and his left leg was shown complete with boot.
We didn’t have time to stop and admire the artistic efforts though, as we were on a mission to capture a hundred GC caches in a day, which we succeeded in doing.
Thanks for the Locationless 2y’stassies, this one was certainly different.

As it is over a year since we published this cache, we will now log a find of our own. We were in the small town of Beulah in Victoria when we saw a small Ned Kelly in the front garden of a house. The required photo was taken and has been added to the Gallery..
Maryborough Qld
Ned outside the Ned Kelly's Motel and servo.....hopefully guarding it and not meaning you're about to be robbed.
A long way from where Ned became notorious which makes you think he roams a lot further these days than when he was alive.

We found Ned outside an art gallery in Singleton NSW. S 31 53.180 E 141 13.388
Spotted this Ned in Jerilderie NSW. Appropriate when you think that Ned and his gang robbed the local back here.
Thanks 2Y'stassies....a fun little locationless. And I saw your Warracknabeal Ned today as we passed through town.

We are returning from the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs and are currently caching around Broken Hill. Today we took a drive out to Silverton (home of Mad Max filming and home to lots of Mad Max memorabilia) and we spotted this fine specimen of Ned at a local gallery. TFTV

Hi ausandaus2: your version of Ned is fine. good to see variations on a theme.
A bit of a rough and ready Neddy but I think the original Ned was also a bit rough and ready. We found this Neddie in ‘Scarecrow Country’ just before Woodbridge, on the Channel Highway, Tasmania. Hope he meets the logging criteria. Thanks for this locationless cache 2y’stassies.

And yet another beaut letterbox on the D'Aguilar Highway but this one's at Stoney Creek.
Ned is carved out of a wooden post and looks pretty good guarding this mailbox with his rifle.
Thanks 2y'stassies.

Passing through this town when I spotted Ned. Had to stop and take a photo
On our month long caching holiday earlier this year we stopped off in Glenrowan to find a few caches and had to take the classic photo of mr sharnie's tribe with Ned. Surprised this one hadn't already been claimed! TFTC
Saw this Ned while out geocaching one day, just a few months ago 
I knew I took this picture for a reason and not just because he was such an interesting bloke!
Thanks for the chance to put Ned to good use

Arms and legs are clearly evident youngoldfella. Your Ned meets the requirements. Please convert your Note to a Find.
EDITed with kind permission of 2Y'STASSIES. Converted Note to find.
This Mail Box is located on the D'Agulair Highway West of Blackbutt Qld. Photo is from my log for You've got Mail. My Ned Kelly is a full bodied 3D construction ( Head and arms and body and legs). When the sale of the house was completed a few years ago this Ned Kelly apparently according to local legend was not included and an amount of money had to be spent to keep this mail box on site as it had become a local landmark and many people used it to identify the driveway to the residence when visiting.
