Glenrowan, Victoria

Glenrowan is a town located in the Wangaratta local government area of Victoria, Australia.

It is famous for the bushranger Ned Kelly, who made his last stand and was eventually captured there in 1880 after a siege and shootout with police.

[3] The town gives its name to the Glenrowan wine region which was formally defined in 2003, with the first grape vines planted in 1866.

In the township of Glenrowan, off the highway, tourists can rest, walk and examine the famous Kelly siege sites.

Though many works discuss land selection, social conflict etc., they all have many details, photos, maps, sketches and facts about 1880 Glenrowan, its railway, the two hotels, and planned train derailment.
