I was just feeding my cattle when all of a sudden Bang, Bang, Bang. It was Ned Kelly and his gang. I acted like I was just feeding the cattle. When I thought they had left I turned around hoping to see nothing dead, but when I turned around there was a gun right in my face and as I thought it was Dan Kelly. He made me take him to my home.
I opened the door and Dan Kelly said, “Can we have some water please? I thought why he is so nice. But I let him have some water as well I gave him some food for free. They also asked me for a place to stay. I took them to the old barn which is not in use. I gave them blankets, pillows and clothes. Next morning they were gone. All they left was $10 and a bottle of beer and that was the last time I have ever seen them.
