Joe Byrne Tapestries

An Outlaw’s Journal is dedicated to the memory of Joe Byrne and his sweetheart, ‘Maggie’. Written by Georgina Rose Stones

This was the proud boast of the tiny inn used by the Kelly Gang in 1880. Ann Jones was a wily Irishwoman whose home and business soon became the scene of one of the most terrifying and momentous occasions in Australian history.

One of Australia's most notorious bushranger gangs, the Kelly gang comprised of Ned Kelly, his little brother Dan and their friends Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Between October 1878 and June 1880 they were the most wanted men in the British Empire until they had one final stand-off with police at Glenrowan.

Cool and modern yet vintage and classic.

This design incorporates elements that symbolise the ssence of Joe Byrne's outlaw life: the iron helmet he wore in battle at Glenrowan, his grey mare Music, and his impassioned letter to his closest confidante Aaron Sherritt.

From the pen of Joe Byrne, this is the signature of the outlaw himself. Taken from one of the few samples of his handwriting that still exists.

Aaron Sherritt: Bush larrikin, trouble-maker and frontiersman. Tough as redwood and flash as Lucifer.

Aaron Sherritt: Bush larrikin, trouble-maker and frontiersman. Tough as redwood and flash as Lucifer. Aaron was Joe Byrne's closest friend but their connection to Ned Kelly would destroy them all.
