Bushranger Ned Kelly's boyhood home

By | | comments |

The "Kelly House", childhood home of infamous bushranger Ned Kelly, still stands in Beveridge, Victoria. (Photo, circa 2010.)

Built circa 1850s by Ned's father, the house remained derelict for many years. Heritage Victoria funded its restoration after the Victorian Government purchased the house in 2019.
