The principal characters in the re-enactment of the Ned Kelly Trial, October, 1880.
L to R: David McDonald, Melbourne, as Edward (Ned) Kelly; Brian Pooley, UK, as Police Constable McIntyre; Chris Storrar, UK, as defence counsel Mr. Bindon; David Webster, UK, prosecuting Crown counsel, Mr. Smythe; Allan Willingham, Melbourne, as Justice Sir Redmond Berry ; and Michael Beattie, the actor who frequently plays Ned Kelly.
A cooler, yet still warm, rest day in Beechworth.
The morning’s activity comprised a technical talk by Nick Simpson of Earley Engineering on vintage and post vintage classic car maintenance in general, and Alvis cars in particular. This was a boys’ only event, with nary a sheila in sight.
In the afternoon we participated in a re-enactment of the 1880 trial of Ned Kelly, Australia’s best known outlaw. Despite the best arguments by the defence counsel, Ned was once again found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging.
As usual, the car park was a hive of activity with minor maintenance, valve adjustments, and fuel leak suppression taking place.
A lively dinner, followed by a ghost tour of the uninhabited wing of the old psychiatric hospital rounded off the day.
