Was Ned kelly a highwayman

Ned Kelly is often described as an outlaw and a folk hero in Australia, rather than a traditional highwayman. He became infamous for his criminal activities, including robberies and confrontations with the police during the late 19th century. Kelly's most notable act was the armed robbery of the National Bank in Euroa in 1878, which aligns with highwayman behavior, but his actions were also driven by a desire to fight against perceived injustices faced by Irish Australians. His legacy is more complex, encompassing themes of rebellion and resistance.
