Benalla is our home and also home to one of the finest regional art galleries in Victoria. Built in 1972 and positioned within the mature grounds of the Botanical Gardens adjacent to Lake Benalla the gallery offers superior works of art and provides a perfect cafe area overlooking the lake. The Art Gallery boasts innovative collections by recent and historic artists. Ned Kelly was hanged a murderer in Melbourne on the 11th of November 1880. He was 25 years old. He was a man with a strong sense of family, misunderstood by many, a larikin and underdog, bushranger and rebel making his way in a country borne out of brutal, harsh convict settlement. What is astonishing is that when Ned was sentenced to hang 30,000 people signed a petition asking for a reprieve, sadly for Ned, he never was.
