The town is principally known as the birthplace of bushranger Ned Kelly, although some historians have recently (June 2005) concluded the birth took place at Wallan East. Bushrangers, or bush rangers, were Outlaws in the early years of the European settlement of Australia who had the survival skills necessary to use the Edward "Ned" Kelly (3 June 1855 &ndash 11 November 1880 was an Australian Bushranger, and to some a Folk hero for his defiance of the colonial Wallan or Wallan Wallan is a town in Victoria, 50 km from Melbourne on the Northern Highway in Australia. Ned Kelly himself told us where he was born whilst on the train heading south after his capture at Glenrowan, Victoria in 1880. Glenrowan is a small town located in the Wangaratta Local Government Area of Victoria, Australia. As he approached 'Beveridge Station' (pointing to the left) he said - "see that little hill over there, that's where I drew my first breath". (The Age newspaper June 1880)
Many historians have mistaken Ned's words as spoken one month later on a train up to Beechworth (heading North) for his Preliminary trial when he said "that's where I was born", and they viewed Big Hill now (Mt Fraser) as the little hill Ned referred to. The Age is a Broadsheet daily Newspaper, which has been published in Melbourne, Australia since 1854 Beechworth is a well-preserved historical town located in the north-east of Victoria Australia, famous for its major growth during the gold rush days of the mid-1850s This meant historians had been looking for the little hill on the wrong side of the railway line for most of the last four decades.

At Beveridge there is a cottage where the Kelly family lived for a short time - is still standing today, located on Kelly Street. It is recorded that John Kelly built this house but Ned was not born here. The Primary School is a bluestone building where the Kelly family once went to church. Bluestone is the name given to several stones (1 a feldspathic sandstone in the U Beveridge, more than any other town has more original buildings that Ned would have seen or touched.
Ned grew up in the shadow of Big Hill now Mt Fraser and is a geological feature, a volcanic cone. It overlooks a landscape, that is mostly the same as, when Ned Kelly was born and explored it, in his first nine years. A quarry now operates at the side of the hill and is becoming a scare to perhaps a most important feature of Victorias history, for from it,on 14 December 1824, explorers Hume and Hovell first saw Port Phillip Bay.
A copy of the original Eureka flag symbolizing the bold spirit of Ned 'for a fair go' because he was born during the time of Eureka, and flies atop this hill every year in his honour.
