Mr Mike, Congratulations on your bold new design mate - the site now
looks better than ever. The new images that you have added recently
are very striking indeed. I love the way you have used the photo of
Joe over the Glenrowan Inn signboard. As usual, keep up all the hard
work - it certainly shows. Have a safe and happy Christmas in
Glenrowan this year - the first of many I'm sure. Congratulations also
on the interview with Allison O'Sullivan. To see a picture of
William Wick is wonderful - well done!
The best of luck to you as always mate, Matt. -
Thanks so much Matt, your a true mate! -
Mike.

Well you have outdone yourself this time Mike, its a great site. I
have been meaning to say G'day again for some time now but keep
getting caught up with other things. Anyway I think your doing a great
job not only keeping the Kelly legend alive but in a bigger way
keeping people focused on our history. Good on'ya Mike. I hope your
move goes well and have a great Christmas mate. By the way I still
plan to get over your way to do a painting of Kelly country so when I
do I will let you know.- Thanks very much Shane,
looking forward to your visit to the North-East! -
Mike.

Ian Jones fans out there will be pleased
to hear that Lothian Books is publishing a revised, retitled edition
of The Friendship that Destroyed Ned Kelly in February 2003.
It is renamed The Fatal Friendship: Ned Kelly,
Aaron Sherritt
and Joe Byrne, and is a marvellous resource for those who crave Ian's
in-depth research. He provides an updated and detailed account of the
pivotal friendship that existed between
Aaron
and Joe, and wonderful detail of the unfolding historical drama they
were such key players in. We are also publishing a new edition of
Ian's seminal biography Ned Kelly: A Short Life in April 2003. Both
books will be must-haves for the serious Kelly enthusiast.
- Joe Online will keep you posted, with a count
down to the release date -
Mike.

Joe's grave
Simon |
simonjwhitaker@yahoo.com | 31.10.2002
Hi there, nice site! I came across Joe's grave while visiting
the Benalla cemetary (my wife is from Benalla, and has some scholfriends in there...) The grave looked bit sad and lonely so
we left a small wildflower for him. Also, I don't think it's
right that Joe's armour is in private hands. It is a national
treasure and the government should aquire it and diplay it in a museum
for all Australians. - Thanks for the comments
Simon, it is not right that Joe's armour is in private hands, but I
suppose it is the 'best kept' suit as it has been very well looked
after by the Hammond family. It should be on display more often
however. - Mike.

Mike i read in a sydney morning herald article that Joe's grave was
dug up by some lamers lookin for a 'ring' and his bones were
disturbed? Besides the fact it is a very low act, what do you know
about it mate?
Is it true...
llama :)
- Unfortunately, yes it is true, poor old Joe's grave was disturbed
a few years back, and his bones, were laid at the end of his grave, in
a sad, un sorted pile. Now we can clearly see why the relatives of the
Kelly Outbreak are so ' tight lipped ' on giving information out to
the wrong people; it ends up with dickheads like the moron who dug up
Joe's body. Who ever it was they were looking for the rings,
obviously, the rings were Constable Scanlon's topaz ring, which was on
Joe's right-forth finger, and Lonigan's seal ring, on Joe's
left-pinkie finger. It Make's me sick, thanks for the comments llama -

Interesting insight, into the life and times, of Joe Byrne.
Young Lawson certainly has a passion. And will be a historical expert
into Byrne history, to reckon with in the future.

G'day Mike, Great to see you new site up and running. All of us that
have met you know how passionate you are about 'the boys'. It is great
to see a young bloke who isn't obsessed with Nintendo or Play station
- instead, you're out there researching and promoting Australian
history. Such a fascinating subject. I agree that Joe is a very
interesting character. '
The Friendship That Destroyed Ned Kelly
' - the bible may I add!
really got me interested in Joe and Aaron, and their tragic story. It
also got me hooked on the magnificent Woolshed Valley. I wish you all
the best of luck, keep at it and I'm sure that we will see you at the
new museum in Beechworth. Congratulations mate!
- Thank you so much Matty, your
sure you'll see me in Beechworth, Mate you bet your bottom dollar you
will see me in Beechworth! I owe you and Doctor Rock heaps, thanks
fella's I really love you blokes! -

Hi Mike, It is great to see you doing a site for Joe Byrne. Despite
his low profile, Joe's role in the Kelly story should not be
underestimated or undervalued. No matter what is said about Joe in
retrospect - we should not forget that Ned respected and trusted him
utterly, and that he played a main role in the legend of the Kelly
gang. It will be great to get a closer look at him and hopefully from
your work on this site, we will all get a better understanding of Joe
the man. Good luck with the new site (where on earth do you find the
time for two?). Plus, I wish you the best of luck with your move to
Glenrowan.
Keep up the hard work Mike - it is all worth it.
Cheers, Nicky :) - Thanks Nicky;
Thanks for the safe move to Glenrowan, Well, time it's one thing I
can't get enough of! but it's there, I hope to answer all the up -
coming questions relating Joe. Again thanks for the comments! -
Mike.

Yet again...Young Mike Lawson has come up with the
goods! To those visitors that see Mike as a kid obsessed
with the Kelly's, or just wonder who the kid is...allow
me to tell you what i think of the young champion: He's
about Australia, and our short history, and what he can
do about keeping it alive and well! ...any help i have
givin the bloke has been my absolute pleasure!... and
his 'crank calls' to me from his mobile phone late at
night
- Thanks Llama, I can't be more appreciative to this
fellow bloke of mine thanks Dave! Folks, Dave also has
his own fantastic Kelly site at

What a ' good ' Site
William Lane |

I am amazed in the speed that this website went up, it
was only one page one day, and next it was ready to go.
I am a year 12 student and I am doing my HSC, and un -
fortunately I can not do Ned Kelly as my teacher, said
there is too much info on him. So after seeing this
website, I decided I would do it on Ned's best friend
Joe Byrne. I have a few questions I hope you will be
able to answer:
1/
Was Joe Byrne's horse named Music or Mirth? , Many
sources say different.
Joe's horse was music, but Music obeyed both Ned and Joe, for
example during Ned's last stand, Music walked between Ned and his
attacking police, as if Joe was offering his mate one last chance to
escape, Ned pushed her on, she began to trot off, when constable
Arthur carefully took aim, and gunned Music down, when everything
was over Music had disappeared. Ned's horses name was Mirth.
2/
How did Ned Kelly & Joe Byrne meet?
Well, this one is a tricky one, in the Last Outlaw, Ian Jones' 4
part series, Jim Kelly seemed to have picked up Joe and Aaron, after
their stint in gaol, for Illegal possession of a cow hide. As Jim
put it in the Last Outlaw, "...I picked up these desperate, fresh
out of Beechworth Gaol..." they were met at " Burkes hole saw mill "
But Joe, Aaron and the Kelly brothers were never in Beechworth at
the same time. So my theory it was more than likely through Jim.
3/
What is your explanation, on why Joe Byrne killed Aaron Sherritt?
I
think personally, Joe was pushed over the edge, of everything,
hassled by the Quinn's who wanted Aaron dead, and also Tom Lloyd
who, thought Aaron was betraying them, but I don't think Joe wanted
to kill Aaron, I think it was more than likely, a spur of the moment
thing, and Joe had lost all sense of life.
Thank you,
William Lane. -
No worries William, hope I have helped -
Mike.

I would like to ask the webmaster 'Mike' why in god's name would
you make a website about Joe Burn?, what did he ever achieve in his
short and criminal life? also, in your 'lock-up'
section, you say 'So,
whenever you pass by Benalla, on a holiday, caravanning, or even
stopping the night in Benalla I ask you to go down to Joe's grave,
lay some flowers, or just pay your respects to a most admirable
individual' huh! I think not sonny Jim!-I
have been to Joe's grave, and I can tell you it's no bigger
attraction than my great granny's grave! I have been to Glenrowan,
and it's no better than Joe's grave, small, nothing to do, and plain
BORING! Grow up kiddo, and use you designing skills
for a website about Phar Lap or Edmund Barton.....
- You make me sick! You would have to be Joe
Online's Moron of the year! It clearly shows how much of the Byrne
story you have studied doesn't it? You called Joe Byrne BURN
how much does that say for historical knowledge? What is
wrong with you honestly!? I suggest you never return to Joe's grave
for the simple reason we wouldn't want you to do anything you will
regret now would we? moron..... -
Mike.

To Joe Online,
I just wanted to inform you that Joe Byrne was a murdering, thuggish
thief, who killed Aaron Sherritt in clod blooded murder. I don't
think this beast deserves a website.
- Unfortunately there are
people like this dickhead in this world, I am not going to bother
with this one anyone want to reply to this? Feel Free!....... -
