 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! -

 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 -

 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 -

 Are there anymore pictures of Joe? I would like to see better closeup

 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 -

 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 -

 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!....... -
            Mike.
