The infamous shootout at Stringybark creek between Ned, his brother and 4 police officers was in 1878. The only recount of this was Ned's perspective. This is contestable as the only proof of these events is Ned's letter and the stories passed down. Ned shot officers at this shootout but claimed it wasn't intentionally and he only did it in self defence. Although the letter had a victim mentality and there's no proof the officers were going to shoot him. This makes his legacy very contestable. -

The Whalers were strong and preferred to take to war as they were used to going days on end with very little supplies.
