The Fraser Coast Chronicle of  April 8, 2013 has an article entitled "Death Mask Unlikely to be that of Ned Kelly: Trust."
It begins with:

 The National Trust of Victoria is sceptical about the authenticity of the Fraser Coast Ned Kelly mask.

The Chronicle reported on Friday of Torquay woman Valerie McKie's belief she had one of several Kelly death masks.

Victorian National Trust learning and interpretations manager Martin Green said he had his doubts on the mask after the Chronicle sent a photograph to be compared with the original.

"I leave it to you to be the judge because I do not think it can be determined but feel it is unlikely," he said.

"Initially I felt the similarity was not there at all and the mask was of a female but as you can see they do share some proportions.

"It looks to me like the mask you sent lacks all detail like hair and eyelashes and may be a copy of a copy of a copy."
