Visiting the Big Ned Kelly is a great tourist spot to check out. The towering statue is impressive and makes for a fun stop on your travels. Next door, the museum offers a variety of souvenirs and an informative tour, providing a deeper look into the history of the infamous Ned Kelly. It’s fantastic to visit a place that pays tribute to such a key figure in Australian history, and the whole experience offers a nice blend of learning and sightseeing. If you’re into history or just want to see something iconic, it’s definitely worth a visit.
This is a towering, six-metre-high statue of the infamous Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly, depicted in his distinctive, homemade metal armour and helmet, while holding a rifle. It's one of Australia's many well-known "Big Things" and stands as a major tourist attraction in Glenrowan, the site of the Kelly Gang's dramatic final siege and capture in 1880.
Ned Kelly remains a controversial figure—seen by some as a ruthless killer and by others as a folk hero or a rebel against the authorities. The statue is a powerful, if slightly menacing, representation of his legend.
Anything else I can tell you about Ned Kelly or Australian "Big Things"?
You certainly know where you are when you see The Big Ned Kelly in Glenrowan.
Everything is well marked with interesting facts about what took place at the time. Parrots 🦜 in the fence were impressive that they could have a short conversation with you ~
It’s great that the local community keeps the town thriving.
Very nice center, where you can read and learn about the story of Ned Kelly and his gang's last days. Cheap ticket too, worth a visit, also to admire the architecture of the building.
Artistic and historical small town on our way from Melbourne to Milawa, it's a pity that I only allowed a 5-min photo break here. Will come back again to explore further.
The statue of Ned Kelly is such a great memorial to an icon of Australian history.
Glenrowan is not far off the Hume Highway and is such a great small country town. If anyone is in the area, it will be great to stop in and explore the town with all its history.
Thank you to all the staff and locals in the area, as they made it all feel like a beautiful, close country community.
Love finding big stuff and was really cool. The sculpture was very detailed and not at all busy with the background also being very scenic with views of hills and many other art pieces around. Over all one of the coolest towns I've been too and definitely a great place to stop on th3 way to you next holiday. Hope you like the photo

Kellyland Glenrowan is an essential stop for anyone captivated by the legendary tale of Ned Kelly. This immersive destination offers a deep dive into the history surrounding this iconic figure and his notorious gang. Visitors can wander through the museum and homestead, gaining valuable insights into Kelly's life and times. Families will find it particularly engaging, as evidenced by one delighted five-year-old who thoroughly enjoyed her visit despite some warnings about potential scares in certain exhibits.
We loved the enactment show that was put on, only 30mins but enjoyed it & felt like it went quick, the bloke running the place has some new exhibits not quite ready. Plenty history items throughout the place of Neds capture etc & memorabilia for sale, street parking available. Worth the $ to see

This was absolutely amazing - I didn't know what to expect but it was the best show I have seen in a long time!! It was informative and whoever thought this up is a genius - the hotel on fire with the bullets - feeling the wind go past like it was a bullet - the animatronics were amazing - don't delay and do yourself a favour and go for a look - you won't be disappointed
We had a great time very much worth a visit and ticket to see the animatronic re-enactment. Also a fantastic gift shop.
This place is fantastic!! It’s very informative and entertaining at the same time. I visited a few years ago and there seems to be lots of new additions from what I remembered, and some new frights 😂😂 Kids loved it as much as the adults, if not more! The two young men at the counter were lovely. Definitely worth the $35 ($25 for kids). Do yourself a favour and check it out on your way through
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IT DESERVES 5+ STARS!
Great collection!!! Amazing Staff! My 11yr old daughter absolutely LOVES Ned Kelly! It gave her an incredible opportunity to learn! Amazing quality & fire! Gun nosies were so very realistic, even got a front row seat! Outstanding show & an absolute asset to the town! Even got a Ned Kelly coin for $2!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!! Will be back again!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved every minute of it. I went to Kellyland as my children recommended I go through with my husband. Fantastic tour - I felt like I was actually a part of the show! A great way to learn about the Kelly story. Would recommend a visit. The tour runs ever half an hour so we didn’t have to wait long to go in.
Worth the detour/ stop off!
Amazing customer service from the staff, they were so friendly & helpful. The tour was the best thing I have ever done. It was the perfect mix of educational & theatrical experience. Would recommend to all.
A Wonderful show, surprising at every turn & very informative. So much work went into this presentation and production. An Exceptional experience well worth the $ and time. When we arrived in Glenrowan we were unsure what venue to look at first but we are so glad we chose this one. We didnt need to go to any others. Its the complete experience! All you need to learn and feel the legend of Ned Kelly.

Museum
The Ned Kelly Museum & Homestead in Glenrowan is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The museum offers an immersive experience into the life of the infamous outlaw, showcasing interpretative panels, original pictures, attire, and belongings of the Kelly family. Visitors can explore a replica home on the property and engage with knowledgeable owners who are passionate about sharing their insights.
The history contained in the museum is beyond amazing. We were lucky enough to call in when it was quieter and the owner regaled us with his knowledge of all things Ned - he obviously loves the history of the event/s and it made our visit even more enjoyable! We met Howard (90 year old cockatoo) and his friend Dorothy (the younger woman) which was a bit of fun too. Highly recommend for all ages

The place is easy to find, very interesting and filled with memorabilia from head to toe. The outside is decorated with hand painted portraits.

Its incredibly entertaining and informative. Highly interactive with lots of thing to see and hear.
Atmosphere is awesome and super emersive. The guy running the place is also incredibly friendly and helpful.
Would seriously recommend.
Very passionate knowledgeable staff. Fantastic museum with lots of artifacts and special pieces. Love this place. An asset to the town of Glenrowan and helping keep history alive! Great variety of souvenirs too, for the Ned fans and beyond!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very interesting collection with historic photos capturing the events of Ned Kelly's last stand. Ample parking.
Quaint little town .
Pies are delicious.
Beautiful antique & photography store .
Recommend a visit
We had a history lesson here, staff are fantastic, you are well informed on all of Ned Kelly & other key individuals in Ned's capture , trail, site inspections . There is plenty of memorabilia throughout the town and paraphernalia for sale, t shirts, stubby coolers etc. We spent roughly 2 hours here but are returning on our return from Great Ocean Road Trip. There are Food Shops in the town & staff and locals appear freindly , food was served quick & hot & plenty of places to sit around or park & enjoy.

Baileys of Glenrowan is a historic winery established in 1870, offering a wide range of fine wines. The staff at the tasting room are known for their knowledge and friendliness. The winery is located off the beaten track but is definitely worth the visit, with its spectacular views and immaculate gardens.
We had a great time tasting most of range of wines inside the beautiful cellar door, guided by the wonderful Janet.
Then we went outside for lunch in the sunny courtyard, where we enjoyed delicious pizzas and a shared platter.
We will be back!!!

Best experience!! We last minute stopped by for a wine tasting and Kevin was amazing at educating us about wine and the processes. So welcoming, great atmosphere, and great wine with an amazing variety!! Interactive while also giving us space to discuss with each other, I would highly recommend stopping by, we left with 4 bottles! 🍷
We love this place and it's only about 20 minutes from home. Very pretty winery with lots of history and a small museum attached. Free wine tasting and delicious pizzas for lunch. Highly recommended ✅✅✅
What a perfect environment to have celebrated my 70th! Gorgeous restful native garden, excellent food and great wine. Not to mention the extra attention to detail - table beautifully set with white cloths under a billowing gum! Just fabulous. Special thanks to Laura for her finesse in making this such a memorable experience.
Ann Ryan
Fascinating place to visit.
I like white wines and felt disappointed when I tasted a couple of theirs.
Was asked if I wanted a full tasting in a tone that made me feel like a bother, I declined as I was driving and tasted only 2 a sparkling and a Fiano that was not as nice as one I tasted earlier at another smaller winery. I bought a bottle to try to make my visit slightly worth their while. Such a 🫠
Great friendly service and the lunch platter was really fresh and absolutely delicious thank you we will be back
We come here often as a family and will continue to do so for many years. The drive out is always spectacular with gorgeous views and immaculate gardens. The antipasto platters and pizzas are always amazing and the wine is fantastic. Although I do miss the fronti! However the Moscato and Topaque were delightful. The kids always have fun in the little designated play area and the staff are always lovely. Such a beautiful, relaxed and easy winery to visit. I would recommend booking because it has limited tables.
I've been visiting this winery since the 80's as I am addicted to their fortified wines. As one would expect the staff in their tasting room are knowledgeable and mighty friendly. On this visit we left with some Winemakers Selection Rare Old Muscat, 2019 Small Batch Organic Rosé and 2019 Organic Fiano. This is a destination winery as it is well of the beaten track but it is definitely worth the effort to visit this winery that have been making fine wines since 1870.

Glenrowan Dad & Dave's Billy Tea Rooms & Accommodation offers delightful food such as scones and homemade pies. It is a great place to visit during a road trip, especially if you have children who would enjoy trying their milkshakes. The staff at the cafe are polite and friendly, setting it apart from other regional towns in Victoria. The cleanliness of the place, along with quick and tasty food, make it a perfect spot to take a break and stretch your legs.
Small town cafe with retro looks and warm smiles all around. Had a chance to stop here for a quick bite. Ordered soup of the day along with chicken wrap which turned out to be a delicious one. I can feel the crispiness of lettuce rolled in the wrap. Would love to visit again on our next road trip. Love the ambience.

You gotta try their scones - so good! Milkshake with a top up on the side - great!
Coffee is good too.
Staff are efficient with quick service.
Loo facilities are nice and clean.
A great find. Highly recommend.
The food there is absolutely lovely - we had the scones and homemade pies. i milkshakes are a must try if you have kids and doung a road trip. The people running the place are polite and friendly. Unlike other regional towns we have visited in and around victoria - this place was clean, the food was quick and tasty and its a great stop to stretch your legs.
An easy place to stop. Clean toilets. Warm in winter. Comfortable. Good food and coffee. The butter you get with your toast isn’t solid as a rock. And let’s face it, you’ve probably had to stop at Macca’s or Hungry Jack’s before you got here. This place is welcome relief. Always recommend stopping here for a break, for a feed and a wander.
An absolute highlight. Traditional Devonshire teas done really well. Pikelets are delicious, and the best milkshakes I’ve ever had. Super friendly staff. Can’t rate it highly enough, well worth the stop.
Came here on Queens birthday so it was naturally busy and was understaffed. Even though the staff were run off their feet, the service and food were top notch. Thank you for a great lunch. Will be back!
This is a great Cafe to visit. I stopped here on my way to Melbourne. They have the best pumpkin soup with damper bread. Scones are fresh and soft. The service is good and staff is friendly.
Linda's pikeletts we're tip-top, and we had some of the best customer service I've experienced. The coffee was good, and Linda showed us an impressive loaf of sourdough she had baked. The atmosphere was cozy. Definitely stop by, it's well worth it.

Ned Kelly's Capture Site in Glenrowan is a must-visit for history enthusiasts. The small town is filled with references to Ned Kelly, offering plenty of photo opportunities with his memorabilia and statues. The site features well-done information boards that guide visitors through the sequence of events leading to Kelly's capture. It's an eerie yet fascinating street that provides insight into the final stand of the infamous bushranger.
I really enjoyed looking at this site on a beautiful day in Glenrowan.
Of course, the newly built road over the railway ruins the overall scene but you can’t stop progress I suppose.
I really liked the sign boards giving plenty of information and images.
I hope that when the bridge is finished some funds are found to improve this attraction to a piece of Australian history.
Paul S — Google review
Great story boards depicting the siege at Glenrowan and the capture of Ned Kelly. Follow the boards around and read about this historic moment in Australia's history. We enjoyed the walk around and increasing our knowledge of Ned and the Kelly gang.
Was nice and quiet on the weekend, although it was a wetter day. Loved reading the signs and visiting the landmarks, although it was confusing at times where the starting point for the signs were. However, it was a really nice walk and a cool piece of history.
"Robert Edwards" of Swan Hill said he used to have Carriage Rides at Glenrowan back in 2011, to take people around to see the History (Photo taken in 2011). Will that ever return?
Apart from that, the "Ned Kelly Museum & Homestead" (Photo taken in March 2024!) is the best place to go to, to find out all about the Local History. A small town, with a lot of History!
The Ned Kelly Capture Site offers a poignant glimpse into Australian history. Surrounded by tranquil landscapes, this site commemorates the end of an era. History buffs and nature lovers alike will appreciate its significance and serene beauty. A must-visit for anyone exploring the region's rich heritage.
The historical site where the infamous busranger Ned Kelly was brought down and captured. To capture him, the police shot at his legs and groin as they were not hidden by his heavy armour. The sign posts are well done. We enjoyed our walk and whole Glenrowan experience. Worth the visit. Make sure you visit the Kelly Museum. It's expensive but enjoyable including a well done replica of the little Kelly house.
Really enjoyable trail explaining the history of Ned Kelly. All the exhibits are well signposted and most are within walking distance. An absolute must when visiting Glenrowan, but bring plenty of water as there is limited shade on the walk and it can get very hot!
Learnt a lot. I do wish the signs were in the clearer order. It was very confusing to go to sign 4 (where he was captured) only to realise that sign 5 happens before his capture. Still informative.
Apparently the Kelly gang were fighting for the independence for north east Victoria (they wanted the country to be called the Republic of North east Victoria - not particularly catchy) Ned called off the other rebels and turned himself over after his brother and fellow gang member were killed. He took most of the blame for their crimes.

During a visit in March, Bob provided excellent hospitality at Morrisons of Glenrowan winery for the husband and adult daughter. They were fortunate to witness the wine fermentation process and even had the opportunity to assist. The experience was so enjoyable that they plan on revisiting next year and placing an order for delivery to Abbotsford Vic. Morrisons of Glenrowan offers a variety of wines including Fiano Garganega, Rose, and Tempranillo.
Great service, great stories and great wine! Bob was knowledgeable, hospitable and was up for answering all of our questions. We left after purchasing a few bottles and feel as though they’ll go quickly. We absolutely loved the Family Reserve as well as the Primitivo and Tempranillo.
It was lovely to share stories with Bob of teaching and living rurally. Glenrowan and the Morrison property are a lovely part of Australia. We stopped through on our journey home to Longreach and we could not recommend it highly enough!

We stopped off here on our way from Sydney to Melbourne as we were staying in Glenrowan. What a lovely surprise! Bob warmly welcomed us and told took us through a beautiful narrated journey of how the winery came to be. The wines are delicious and punching well above their weight for such a small family-run venture. The Durif and Reserve Shiraz are particular standouts. Bob's passion, kindness and hospitality made this an unforgettable tasting experience that has us telling everyone we know to stop by- we cannot wait to come back!
Going to Morrisons today was like dropping into a friend's house for a wine and a chat. We pulled the table into the sun as we spoke politics, religion( yes 2 taboo subjects), children, work and other subjects as we sipped and chatted to the owner Dianne. Family owned and run with no pomp and ceremony like the big wineries. Great views that feel like you're in France looking at the Alps in the distance. Can't recommend this place enough. Thank you Di for letting into your little peace of heaven.
Excellent wines, lovely hosts and mindblowing jams - fig & ginger is to die for! Located couple minutes drive from the Glenrowan Pub...and the view is also worth to see.
Wonderful family run boutique winery. All wines are such good quality and reasonably priced. We bought a cheeky couple of dozen bottles! It's so lovely to be served by the owner/winemaker. Much more enjoyable than the large commercial wineries. A must visit if you're passing by Glenrowan!
There were a few wineries in Glenrowan and we decided to come to Morrisons after some research. And how glad we did. It's exactly the kind of business we love supporting - small, local, friendly, passionate, with a great story.
Bob was lovely finding out how we like our wine before proceeding to the tasting recommendations. We ended up getting the premium and family reserve reds, the fiano garganega, and rose which we enjoyed very much.
We may have found our regular wine supplier as they do free delivery. Winning!
Stopped in by chance on the way home, very glad I did! Bob took great pleasure in taking us through a tasting and explaining some of his small family wineries story and operation. Few nice wine and fortified varieties, favourites were the dry fiano and the muscat. All enjoyed with some beautiful views from the tasting bar! Will definitely return 👍
Had an amazing spontaneous visit to this winery on Saturday. Fantastic service by Bob, wine was great and took a bottle home to enjoy. The views and the property were beautiful- would highly recommend adding this as a stop on a road trip down the hume like we did or a great day trip from Melbourne! Thanks again for your tasting and service again on Saturday Bob- the girls and I loved it!

Lovely little park for kids to have a run around in during our journey
Owen B — Google review
Pretty good park with climbing equipment, swings, sea saw and slide. Tables and chairs with some undercover. It's right next door to the Ned Kelly visitor centre so you can access the viewing platform for free. Only downside is you have to park a bit further down from the park as there isn't parking right in front of it. It also isn't enclosed which might've been a good idea considering the main road/street is right next to it. Toilets are located on the other side of the Ned Kelly discovery hub.
This playground was ok, it had playground equipment and the basic necessities but that was basically it. The council might want to make sure there aren’t so many ditches in the park because after it rains it fills it up with water and nobody really wants there foot to get soaked in dirty water.

Heritage preservation
I had a great time looking at all the information about the Kelly seige
Ron T — Google review
This site is such an important site to do with the Siege. There are ‘pole people’ of the police at the police shoot out site and 2 of the ladies near the train station who were on the police special train I believe wives of 2 of the police from Melbourne. The pole people are in bad need of attention. They have been there many years. Hopefully the Victorian government will make improvements to this area some time. With the amount of people who come here to visit every year and such a special place of significance something more needs to be done. Some native trees planted like they would have been in 1880, and more and new pole people or something like that to show how chaotic the scene would have been at the time. The signs are great in telling you the story. And the replica train station building is very special.
A pleasant location providing information and resources to learn about the notorious bush ranger Ned Kelly
We spent an hour walking around the historic site. The best part is that it is free.

Genuine, family run winery that really cares about the quality of the product.
Amazing wines, we were really surprised by the quality of their reds. There aren't many wines we rave about but these are a must try.
Beautiful landscape and an amazing old cellar as well. This place is a must stop for those who enjoy a really good drop.
Not welcoming at all, while at our wine tasting the lady just stood there with her arms crossed not recommending any drinks or explaining the wine notes. The 2 men were caught up in conversion and never chatted with us. The wine tasted watered down and going from Baileys of Glenrowan to this was a major disappointment.
Milo the dog was the most welcoming
A great family run place to visit! Fantastic prices, Friendly service, Fun time!
Best value great reds - well aged - recommend
Note winery listed as Booths on signs.
Stayed at their accommodation and had a quiet peaceful stay, they had everything you could need provided and the wines are amazing. We will definitely be back.
Just spent an enjoyable long weekend at Taminick cellars with live entertainment, food stalls and of course excellent wine and views.
Taminick is one of our favourite wineries in the area. It’s extremely understated and relaxed which is one of the reasons we love it! Great family owns and runs events here and we’re very happy to support them in any way we can
Beautiful wines... family owned cellar door + brewery with some of the oldest vines in the area with a lot of history and character. Can’t wait to be back and stay in the cottage. If you head to the more well known places in the area like Baileys be sure to check out this place too, just as nice if not nicer and no extra markup.

The Ned Kelly Discovery Hub is a new addition to Glenrowan, offering a great way to delve into the history of the area and the Ned Kelly era. The hub features an interpretation center on the ground floor, providing insightful information about the Ned Kelly story and the last siege/capture of the Kelly Gang. Visitors can also enjoy a lovely viewing deck that offers panoramic views of Glenrowan's geography and historic sites. Additionally, there are public toilets available outside of the Discovery Hub.
The Ned Kelly Discovery Hub was an excellent place to stop and get information we needed around Ned's story. The view from the top and the information plaques were very informative and gave a good understanding of where things played out in Glenrowan. The staff at the Hub were very friendly and helpful. The displays inside were interesting and I particularly make note of the great cinema experience in the middle of the Hub which had closed captions which was great for someone who is deaf. Couldn't LOVE this enough. Well done for being inclusive. The toilets were clean and tidy. Definitely worth a visit.

A must-visit spot in Glenrowan! The Ned Kelly Discovery Hub is such an engaging and well-presented experience. The interactive displays, historical storytelling, and multimedia exhibits really bring the story of Ned Kelly and the siege at Glenrowan to life. It’s modern, informative, and great for all ages. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and share local insights. Whether you’re a history buff or just passing through, this place is absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommend!
As a local, I was pleasantly surprised with the Ned Kelly Discovery Hub, its information about local events, Ned Kelly history and general district history. The lovely young lady, Skye, showed us around, explaining things as we went. She is very informative and lovely to chat with. Highly recommend to visit with, not just tourists, but locals as well. 10/10!
A lovely relaxed space to refresh all things Ned before wandering around the area to explore the sites. I was as glad we stopped here first as it gives a really good overview that allows a better appreciation of the museum items too.
Brilliant centre. The 2 screened movies were superb. The viewing platform above was also a great way to see the lay of the town. Well worth the $5 entry fee.
It was also awesome to see a group of primary school kids searching for the answers to the treasure hunt and all helping each other.
Well done on a great facility.
Great little exhibit telling the story of Ned Kelly. I wasn't familiar with the story at all, but it sums it up in an easy to understand and nicely presented way. Then, if you're interested, you can walk right down the main street and go to kellyland and the museum to learn more. The hub is really nice and informative. Receptionist who sold us our tickets was really friendly as well.
Pretty small, but very informative. We learned a lot about Ned Kelly and The Kelly Gang.
Recommended for educational trips.
Great stop for toilet break, great playground, and the information centre is fantastic! Quick stop but we learned a lot.
