Ned Kelly is a murdering, bank-robbing, Australian folk hero. What is the true history of this mythic figure? And how did an outlaw - or bushranger - rise up to become a symbol for a new nation?
Anthony Delaney and Maddy Pelling are joined by Dr Meg Foster, research fellow at the University of Technology, Sydney and award winning author of Boundary Crossers: the hidden history of Australia's other bushrangers.
Edited and produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
