Look at the sun
Falling from the sky
Look at the sunset
Takes my mind
Back
To my homeland
Far away
It's the story
It's the story
Runnin' in my mind
It's so clear
It's so clear
I remember
I remember
Oh, my
Oh, my
Oh, my
Oh, my
Sunset gleaming
Hey
Hey, people
Can you dig what I say?
Our land
Our land
Hear what I say
Hear what I say
To the people
Of the land
Try my
Try my
Try my
Sunset, baby
The Kelly Gang had been
holding up banks
for as long as, well, for as
long as there'd been banks.
Historically, we were
the World's First Biker Gang.
What really set us apart
from all the other outlaws
was our philosophy.
We always gave everything
we stole to the poor.
My uncle Dan had been the
most notorious aboriginal outlaw
of all time,
until he retired to run the family pub.
My brother job was
the Gang's tax expert,
and the rest of the Gang
worked full-time
in the manufacture
and consumption of beer.
Come on, Ned.
You're be late for work.
Wild thing
You make my heart sing...
Yep.
Times has changed, all right.
The entire bank-robbing division
of the once world-famous Kelly Gang
had been reduced to just one man...
me.
Oh
Wild thing
You make my heart sing, yeah...
We lived in this wild pub.
It was so old that no one was sure
if it was actually built
or just somehow
grew out of the ground.
Over the years, it has become home
to every kind of wildlife
you can imagine.
Wild thing

Apart from my dog,
my bike was my best mate.
I personally built it
from the wheels up
out of scrap metal.
Sure, it had some
minor structural problems.
It wasn't exactly mechanically perfect,
but everyone respected it.
Especially Joe.
Morning, Dan.
Morning, Ned.
It is refueled.
Thanks, Joe.
You still haven't fixed
that leaking pump.
Have now.
Ooh!
See yourself.
Our pub was on the shore
of a national park,
hundreds of miles from anywhere.
I reckon it was as close to paradise
as you can get.
Riding to work that day,
nothing seemed different
from any other day.
At least that's what
I thought at the time.
Good morning.
I'd like to make a withdrawal.
It's a .44.
Check out the d*ckhead
talking to a machine.
That's no d*ckhead.
That's Ned Kelly.
Oh, yeah!
I don't think so.
Ouch. Computer malfunction.
Bingo.
This is the Kelly Gang...
And I'd like to make a deposit.
Deposit?
Yeah. Deposit this money
amongst the bank accounts of any
people who can't repay their loans.
And I want receipts,
and I want 'em now.
Oui. Oui.
I will get all the staff onto it.
All officers, take your positions.
It was then I heard something
you rarely hear in the
middle of a bank robbery...
Shakespeare.
"If music be the food of love,
play on. Give me excess of it."
"If music be the food of love..."
And who are you?
Robin Banks.
I was earlier. Now I'm depositin'.
This is my lunch break.
I love american accents.
Excuse me.
I like the way you talk.
In fact, I like everything
about America.
What you reading?
Shakespeare.
I hate flies.
Mr. Kelly, all the people's receipts.
Thanks, mate.
This time he's trapped.
Hey...
maybe I'll see you later.
I doubt it, cowboy.
Bye, Ned.
Wait for it.
What's the matter, boys?
Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I had none
I fought the law, and the
Law won
I fought the law
And the law won
I left my baby, and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the--
I lost my girl, and I lost my fun
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
Hey, I fought the law,
and the law won
I fought the law, and the law won
After him!
I fought the law, and the law won
I said I fought the law...
Of course,
I didn't know it at the time,
but I'd just triggered
off a chain of events
that was to threaten
the very existence
of the Kelly Gang.
"...cannot see the pretty fall
leaves that themselves commit,
or if they could,
The outlaw
dropped this.
Take it to Sir John's office immediately.
Ned Kelly has robbed
yet another branch
of the International Trust Bank,
but this time his target
was head office.
The bank's largest foreign investors
have responded by
threatening to pack up
and go home.
However, locals are
reacting quite differently.
Ned Kelly's deadly. He's great.
He's wonderful.
He's fabulous.
He gives us the cash.
He's got a great bike.
Since Ned Kelly has
been depositing money
in our bank account,
I can afford more groceries.
Look.
Through the haphazard program
of redistributing money,
the Kelly Gang has effectively
lowered interest rates, cut inflation,
and raised the standard of living
for the average family.
Rotten bastards.
It's been Ned Kelly's complete
disregard for authority
that has captured
the Hearts of the People
and made him something
of a national hero.
Yes?
Sir John, one of our young tellers
has some information
regarding the robbery.
What is it?
Apparently this was
dropped during the holdup.
Oh, Sir John.
There's also a Major Wib
here to see you.
Yes. Come in.
Major Wib from Great Britain, sir.
Formerly of Her Majesty's
personal guards.
three years Royal British Commandos.
Served with distinction special
forces-- intelligence branch.
At your service,
Vis-a-vis the Kelly problem.
That's very impressive, Major.
Thank you, Sir John.
I had the pleasure of being
on duty at Buckingham Palace
the day you got your knighthood.
Oh, really?
Yes. Rah-rah poo-poo, sir.
It's about time we had a man
of your particular talents
working exclusively for us
in the field of corporate banking.
If you'll pardon the pun, sir,
I plan to make a killing.
Thank you. That'll be all.
Please, Major.
Now, what do you make of this?
It's a toweling mat,
commonly used on the top
of Australian hotel bars
for the absorption of beer spillage.
Looks like some sort of a rodent.
Is it a rat?
It's a kangaroo, sir.
The Glenrowan Hotel.
It's in a national park
called Reckless Island.
No wonder the police
can't track them down.
According to this, it's
a remote wilderness.
Kelly would know that island
like the back of his hand.
At the first sign of armed aggression,
he'd vanish into the bush
and pick us off like flies.
Yes, you're right.
Major, the one thing
you'll learn in business
is that almost anything
can be achieved
by having good political connections.
Miss Twisty, draft a confidential fax
to the department of national parks.
Tell them that the bank will be acting
as the Sole Agent for the
sale of Reckless Island.
Right away, Sir John.
You can't sell a national park.
Wib?
I'm going to turn Kelly's hideout
into a... japanese tourist resort.
Met down by the jetty landing
Where the...
The others rated standing
