hey im back. .....OI ADRIAN WAKE UP
's alright, Growlers, I've got an interesting book about Ned Kelly to read. The first time I've dipped into anything about all that since primary school!
thought u went to bed silver??
u knocked off yet mate or u doin ovatime??
Thanks Growlers, its working, getting vewy vewy sleepy as Mr Elmer Fudd was known to say.
I didn't realise the background to the Kelly history - I'm up to 1880. It is quite interesting. I don't know the extent, if any, to which the author is biased, but the book is non fiction and paints Kelly and sympathisers as more than just theives.
They had issues with authority didn't they and were treated badly by the authorities because if their background??

yes, that's part of it according to the author - a big part, and the poor treatment extended to sympathisers or alleged sympathisers - eg arresting them at harvest time and locking them up on remand for months without charge or evidence.
Just getting to Glenrowan now, where the plan seems to be that that robbery will lead to declaration of a republic around Benalla. The author contrasts this with the efforts of the Boers in South Africa in the first and second Boer wars, making the point that the Boer leadership saw the wars as a step on a path to a different future, whereas the author paints the Kelly vision as kinda stopping at the creation of the republic. Dunno, its a bit complicated to capture and sumari2e and I'm still reading it :-)
I've just got back to my accommodation so am gunna hit the fart sack mate
Enjoy ya read
