the horse has bolted
Jerilderie has a special relationship with Ned Kelly - Australia's most infamous bushranger - and because of this was given the Ned Kelly Horse which appeared in the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games opening ceremony.
When the structure was opened out the "horse" looked like the photo below
and soon after it arrived it still looked like a horse but upside down
Nobody seems to know where the horse gone, maybe the Council knows.

I have enjoyed reading up on Ned Kelly. He could compare to some of our famous Western outlaws, only more colorful by far. I have started reading his letter but time ran out and I will go back and finish it. Thanks for this post.
Ned Kelly certainly seems a larger than life character and his homemade armour is instantly recognisable (to Australians at least). I'm sure Jerilderie is glad he paid a visit or there not be much to tempt the traveller to stop and have a look in the town.
