He appears to have been possessed of a considerable courage and resource, and during the period of his outlawry frequently rode about in feminine attire. Historical record

All the Kellys may have dressed like this at times to deceive people for fun. The picture is as posed as the rider. The story is that Steve Hart, dressed as a girl, won a race at the Greta Races, riding side-saddle. Sidney Nolan Text © National Gallery of Australia, Canberra 2010
