About this location
The township of Jerilderie, established in 1859, is nestled on the banks of Australia's longest creek, the Billabong Creek, and is located on the Newell Highway, which is the main inland route linking Melbourne and Brisbane.
Jerilderie ( the English translation for the local Jeithi Aboriginal Tribe's word of 'djirridhuray'), meaning 'with reeds' or 'reedy place', is also the commencement of the Kidman Way - popular with travellers on their way to the outback.
Jerilderie is where bushranger Ned Kelly attempted to have his 8,000 word manifesto printed by the local newspaper editor in 1879. The historic town is the only NSW town raided by the Kelly Gang.
