GLENROWAN, VICTORIA

'Glenrowan' is a small town located in the Wangaratta Local Government Area of Victoria, Australia. It is 184 kilometers north-east of Melbourne and 14 kilometres from Wangaratta and located near the Warby Ranges and Mt. Glenrowan. At the 2001 census, Glenrowan had a population of 342.^[1]
Glenrowan was named after farmers James and George Rowan who ran farms in the area between 1846 and 1858.
It is famous for the bushranger Ned Kelly, who made his last stand and was eventually captured there in 1880 after a siege and shootout with police.
Glenrowan is a popular rest point for those travelling on the Hume Freeway, as it holds McDonald's outlets on both sides of the freeway. In the township of Glenrowan, off the highway, tourists can rest, walk and examine the famous Kelly siege sites.
