On June 28, 1880 the Kelly Gang bailed up the townsfolk of Glenrowan in the Ann Jones Inn as part of their grand plan to create a Republic of North East Victoria. Ned's brother Dan and two other gang members, Steve Hart and Joe Byrne, died during the epic shoot out with the police. Although wearing his unique hand-made armour, Ned was finally brought to the ground and captured after sustaining 28 gunshot wounds in his final dramatic battle with the police. The story of the Glenrowan Siege is told in a walking trail map that guides visitors around a number of informative signs located where the major incidents occurred.
