When we imagine Ned Kelly’s accent, we think of a bloke with a strong Irish brogue – addressing his gang like the leader of a revolution.

But hang on, wasn’t Ned Kelly born in Australia?

What was that, Ned? Ned Kelly fanatics disagree over what accent the bushranger had.

Yes, his birthplace was the small town of Beveridge, 50 kilometres north of Melbourne. So perhaps we should be thinking of a country drawl, or a bogan twang.

It’s a hot topic among Kelly fanatics, and is set to fire up due to the release of the latest film inspired by the famous bushranger.
