Welcome to the Ned Kelly Discovery Hub in Glenrowan, where students can connect with one of Australia’s most dramatic historical events—the 1880 Glenrowan Siege.
From a panoramic lookout over the siege site, including the Glenrowan railway station and Ann Jones’ Inn, students gain a deeper understanding of the Kelly Gang's rise, activities, and downfall. Interpretive displays also highlight key locations including Beveridge, Euroa, Benalla, Greta, Beechworth, and Wangaratta.
The Discovery Hub presents rich historical content through:
Short films
Text and photographic displays
