Body armour. Designed by Joseph Byrne

Nope, not body armour but you have the right person.

Joe wrote a few poems other than being a bushranger

Kelly film?

 

[Manpa]

No not a poem or film.

What am I, I was purportedly the first of my kind in Australia and came into being in 1880

We have all seen hundreds, probably thousands of me

A man of some notoriety was the subject matter

I was created in Benalla

I was captured by JW Lindt

portrait of Ned Kelly?

 

[Manpa]

Getting closer, wrong Gand member.

I was strung up and posed outside the jailhouse.

 

[madtuna]

ahhh. the first ever news photo.
And that was of Joe Burn

 

[manfromironbark]

Yep, got it. Won't answer as I googled it. I was reasonably close!

 

[Manpa]

That is it Madtuna, thank our, I was running out of clues.
Joe Byrne was photographed by Lindt, dead, strung up in front of the Benalla jailhouse in 1880, purportedly the first press photograph published in Australia.

Over to you.

 

[madtuna]

I had a book of Lindt photos, just brilliant!

Who am I and where am I?

I'll go with Harry Southwell Steve but cannot find where he in now as they do not say where or when he was buried. Born in Cardiff Wales in 1882.

The 1927 film "Down Under"
The film was financed by West Australian businessmen and shot in that state atErlistoun Station,Lavertonand Perth.
Southwell claimed at the time he had a contract to make six films for distribution in Britain.
It was the first and only production of Anglo-Australian Films.

He liked making films about the Kelly's.
