Stringy-Bark Creek Forum-  The identity of the forum creator is not revealed ?
He wrote; "
So much controversy surrounds the true site, where an epic battle unfolded between the Kelly gang and the police. Kelly scholars for decades have debated and painstakingly researched all known material relating to that fatal day, 26 Oct 1878. and exactly where the true site is located ". With many views expressed over the years, one would think the reading of historical primary sources and a scientific approach would settle the matter, but old long held beliefs together with dogged stubborn-ess by the not so scientific debaters clouds any  proper consensus considering several historical facts, a steep slope as in a 1878 photo of the place where the police were killed by the Kelly gang, and fireplaces of two old huts near where they camped when shot. This forum site was to be the savior for Kelly forums but has gone the same way as others preceding. Until people grow up and accept the truth instead of just their beliefs, there is no hope for any proper forum debate. Bill Denheld had to just give up.

The Ned Kelly Trail  Take a tour through Victoria's Kelly country and visit the towns where one of Australia's most famous bushrangers spent his short life.
We start the Ned Kelly Trail by driving north from Melbourne to Beveridge, Avenal, Kyneton, Euroa, Mansfield, Stringybark Ck, Benalla, Glenrowan, Beechworth, Greta, Powers Lookout, and Jerilderie in NSW.


Here are two Ned Kelly touring information sites aimed to lead you through Kelly Country. While the upper Ned Kelly Trail site offers the basic story line and on the ground maps, the N.K.Touring Route site serves more as a Tourist Information brochure that can also be picked up at the various destinations in Kelly country. However, study these websites before you leave, not when you return.


The Ned Kelly Touring Route Is a joint initiative between the municipalities of the Rural City of Wangaratta, Benalla, Mansfield, Strathbogie, Indigo and Jerilderie (NSW) Shire Councils, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding.  The Old Melbourne Gaol is also a strategic partner in the project which is also strongly supported by Tourism Victoria.
