  1. I am just wondering why this individual post over all the other 95 posts here as well as the homepage itself is getting so many hits (and mainly from the USA)? In the past week it has gotten 266 views just for this post (not counting hits on the eleven mile creek homepage seeing it). Considering all the original research and writing we have done that has not gotten that type of action per individual post (such as coming from google or a link) it really has me stumped! Not that I am complaining about those who are discovering us and are getting their Ned Kelly information here, it just has been a bit of baffling mystery to me!
