Afraid that didn't help much, Auzzie. The guy in blue resembles a Brit, but can't connect with that little robot looking thing. I'm going to guess Darwin.

Something to do with Ned Kelly?

Yes George

Letty the man in blue is the really important one.

Not feeling too well, dp, so I can't play right now.

Letty you have it I am still up watching the first match of the world cup soccer.

MANSFIELD POLICE MONUMENT.

The monument is located in the center of my home town and is dedicated to three policeman killed by Ned Kelly and his gang in the hills near my town.

Ned was an outtlaw (we say Bushranger) in the same vein as Billy the kid.
He fashioned armour from plough steel to protect himself from police bullets.

Ned is something of a folk hero in Australia.

Here is an overview of the kelly story.
