NED Kelly's last stand has been immortalised in paint at Kate's Cottage in Glenrowan with the completion of what the cottage owners believe is the first ever mural of the full seige.

National award winning artist Andrew J Bourke, along with contributing artist Bryan Itch, painted the mural over the past month until it was fully completed last Thursday.

It depicts the full police siege of the Kelly gang at the Glenrowan Inn, with the police and the gang engaged in a gun fight, accompanied by a large portrait of Ned Kelly.

Co–owner of Kate's Cottage, Michelle Coad, said it is the first mural ever painted of the full siege.

"It was important for us to be able to represent it in its entirety; the flagging down of the train, the shootout between the Kelly gang and police," she said.

Ms Coad said she and co–owner Doug Stoneman wanted to leave their mark at the cottage with a substantial project like the final siege and add something to the town for future generations to pass by and admire.

"We decided we want to do this mural because there's nothing in Glenrowan like it and we thought it'd be great to link the town with the art trail and also helps small businesses within small towns," she said.

"This town is really well established as a destination town for Ned Kelly and putting something like that here brings the interest of the holiday goers who do the art trails as well as the silo trails...it links us into that.

"We're not going to be here forever; Chris and Rod who were the previous owners of the business added the big Ned Kelly to the town and that was crucial to bringing people in.

"Adding another aspect of the whole Ned Kelly theme is something we just couldn't pass by."

Melbourne based artist Mr Bourke had completed multiple murals in the North East prior to his work in Glenrowan, including at the Winton Wetlands and two other Ned Kelly themed murals in Benalla.

Ms Coad said when she saw Mr Bourke's work and met him, she knew he was the man for the job.

"He had done the Ned Kelly mural on the back of the shops in Benalla and it's just a beautiful piece," she said.

"When we had seen his work, we were drawn to it... he just was the right guy for the job."
