Orbea documents Coolgardie’s odd obsession with Ned Kelly, (amongst other things to come). Again I’m called on to defend WA’s pissweak “bushranger” Moondyne Joe. Murdering crackpot Ned Kelly has nothing to do with our goldfields. Might as well have a memorial to John. Big Bad John. The one on the roof seems to be Ned Kelly as played by Hattie Jaques.

I look too much like the statue of Beethoven.

I grew up in the Goldfields in the 1970s. Coolgardie was the first petrol stop on the way to Perth. I remember the ‘Ned Kelly’ statue in the park but not the one on the roof of the servo. The statue seems to have been moved, and he used to have a shotgun. He was at the front of the park (Ben Prior Park I gather from googling). My memory is that he was right at the front of the park, not skulking at the back. I guess without a shotgun he has no choice but to skulk. I remember thinking it was a statue of Ned Kelly, but that was as a young, young boy without any spatial awareness. But I remember a plaque that didn’t mention Ned Kelly at all, saying that someone dressed like this had robbed the stagecoach or something. I guess whoever took the shotgun took the plaque. Whatever. Maybe they should just sell the statue to Glenrowan, if they can’t afford a new fake shotgun for him.

The servo was owned by Honest Nick, an ironic nickname bestowed upon him by the locals. He’s probably still there.

Broome residents are less ironic. The servo as you get to town, (on the right, opposite the oval), was run by Burglar Bill.

There is a bus stop along Great Eastern Hwy that has an outre version of Moondyne Joe. Around Darlington or Mahogany Creek?
