About The Ned Kelly Touring Route

Welcome to the Ned Kelly Touring Route Website! The Ned Kelly Touring Route is a joint initiative between the municipalities of the Rural City of Wangaratta, Benalla Rural City, 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.

A grant was received from the Federal Government's Regional Tourism Program for  $82,500 to undertake a Scoping Study and prepare a Strategy and Implementation Plan.

The project aims to develop appropriate collateral and interpretive signage at each of the key "Kelly" sites in Victoria and southern New South Wales  and provide visitors with an enhanced level of understanding about the background and events which led to the "Kelly Uprising".

This site is a key part of the project, and brings together information from a variety of sources in one handy location.
