Stature[edit]

Seven feet is his height with some inches to spare. Was it recorded as a historical fact that Kelly really was seven feet tall? If so, it ought at least to have been mentioned in the article. People seven feet tall are uncommon enough these days, but in the 18th Century they may have been ascribed to magical or miraculous origins! Nuttyskin (talk) 18:30, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the tune for "The Cross of the South"[edit]

The tune would be used for a song about the Eureka Rebellion, in Australia, "The Cross of the South". It was used in a play about the Eureka rising written in the 1960s or 1970s. Although at first pass I can find little about it on the web the song was of some political significance, as it became a favourite of left nationalists. Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJh6cORn4bk I think this is significant especially as the tune was apparently original. I need to reference it properly before adding it to the article of course Jeremy (talk) 15:51, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing about the song: It was also recorded by The Dubliners, released on More of the Hard Stuff (1967) and several live albums, including the last (complete) original/new album by the late Dubliners, A Time to Remember (2009). --Universal-Interessierter^de (talk (de)) 21:30, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
