Poetry

Ned Kelly sits in a grimy cell at Old Melbourne Gaol on the night before his execution. His brother and fellow gang member Dan, who Ned believes died at the siege of Glenrowan, visits disguised as a priest. Hes seeking Ned's blessing and forgiveness before heading north to start a new life in Queensland. But after everything they've been through together over the years, and how all of this has affected them, a blessing is not an easy ask.
