---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FAREWELL
NED: THE EXHIBTION
So, as Joe Journal
enters it's first edition, Ned: the exhibition, enters it's
last, Ned: the exhibition, closed, for good, last Wednesday, and
it had a lot of Joe photographs, even Joe's faithful armour was
there for a short period.
The exhibition is
now looking for a more permanent spot, in Kelly Country to host
the spectacular range of Kelly gang relics. As Matt Shore, co -
director of Ned: the exhibition, says:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" It is hard to believe that the exhibition finished last Wednesday
(July 31st) - nine months have come and gone so very fast! It has
been an incredible year for anybody interested in Australian
history, and more particularly the Kelly story. The last twelve
months have seen an amazing array of items resurface and exhibited,
production of the new Heath Ledger come and go, a controversial
photo auction, the Kelly armour 'reunited' after 122 years and of
course the most comprehensive Kelly exhibition ever staged - which
also included the first public exhibition of Ned Kelly and Joe
Byrne's
Jerilderie Letter
The amount of unseen Kelly relics and photographs that have recently
surfaced, and those that are rumored to still exist have truly astounded
and inspired us.
Ned: The Exhibition has been visited by over 120,000 people in
nine months at the Old Melbourne Gaol "
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Ned: the
exhibition
is finally over, I can still remember the first time I ventured
there, just as the launching dinner began, the ending dinner was
equally as good, a relaxed pleasant night at the Old Melbourne gaol,
ending with the thanks and speeches. Joe Online will remember, respect
and never forget the wonderful exhibition compacted together by
Matt Shore and Brendan Pearse,
well done fella's! Also check Ned: The Exhibition out online at
