Sick of Ned Kelly
Listen now
Description
We all know Ned Kelly. In fact, we’re pretty tired of hearing about him. Australian history is filled to the brim with these sorts of stories — white-washed and not even that old. So where are the parts of Australian history that haven’t been told? Where are the stories told by those and about those that aren’t white, British men? In this episode of Uncurated, Rebecca Pridham and Maya Pilbrow look at six small photographs depicting the aftermath of the Glenrowan siege, only to discover Ned’s indigenous counterpart and a side of Australian history that stretches back far beyond any settler.  -- All music in this episode was used with permission from the artists, as listed below: “Celtic Spirits - Irish Bodhran Drums and Classic Guitar” / JuliusH via Pixabay “Stringz Waltz” / Clancy Balen “Tic toc suspenso” / Slicemusic via Pixabay “Drums Detective Shuffle” / Clancy Balen “Tiger Rag” / Friars Society Orchestra via Pixabay “Strings mystery” / Clancy Balen Clips from “Jandamarra The Man” reproduced with the permission of Bunuba Cultural Enterprises Sound effects were sourced free-of-charge from BBC sound effects.
