Beveridge in Victoria. When he was 12, his Irish father john
red kelly, an ex-convict, died of drospy forcing kelly to
leave school and become the family breadwinner. Soon
after, his mother Ellen moved the family to a slab hut in the
tiny Victorian community of greta to be near her own
family, the quinns, who were squatters. Greta was
