Ned Kelly

I had to go into Nelson Bay today and outside Red Ned's pie shop is the life size model of Ned Kelly.

For those who don't know, Ned Kelly was a 19th century Australian bushranger.

To be honest I have never been in the shop or bought a pie from there, but I believe they sell gourmet pies which include kangaroo, ostrich and crocodile, as well as more traditional ones like chicken or beef etc. Maybe I will give it a try one day, but I am not really a pie person.

Wonderful shot. I always wanted to know what would have happened if he wanted to scratch his nose or what would have happened if he had sneezed!

Ned Kelly is romanticized figure. He might rob your pie if you did get one. haha.

Great find and shot (considering he is holding a gun!)

[alia_801]

Such a fun capture Babs, I would have thought most people would know who Ned Kelly and of course Australia is famous for its pies! Love the red umbrella for Red Neds!

[Angela]

The pie needs trying, just to have done it! Great shot.

[Derek Vickers]

The pies sound great. A very lovely shot Babs.

[Babs]

@steampowered Oh Paul. Every time I walk past Ned now I am going to see a picture in my head of him sneezing!!!

[Babs]

@yaorenliu I have got to go and buy a pie there now, just to try them out. I will run past Ned though. ha ha

[Babs]

@joluise @alia_801 @mrsbaldy @streats I walk past Ned every time I go to Nelson Bay as he is near the car park, but this is the first time I have thought of taking a photo of him.

[Babs]

@elaine55 Some of the pies at this shop are very strange. I will have to try one now. Aparently they have won awards.

[Babs]

@gypsy6 I'm surprised you have never tried one before now.

[Babs]

@sbolden @humphreyhippo @gerry Thanks. He has stood there for years and I have only just thought of taking a photo of him.

[Babs]

@angelar @derekvickers I will have to try one now. Which should I choose. http://www.redneds.com.au/fullmenu.html#specialitypies
