Authors William Joy & Tom Prior, who were researching for their book, 'The Bushrangers', 
had this to say when visiting Greta pre 1963.

"Near Greta, Johnny and I visited Ned and Grace Kelly's
nephew Paddy, the eldest, surviving son of their sister Grace. 
In his 70's, Paddy was wearing a short sleeved flannel undershirt
of the type worn by miners and he was as brown and sinewy strong
as his hair and moustache were thick and grey.

    .......I said, surely his family wanted the history to be as accurate
as possible: surely they wanted their side of the story told!
Firmly, but without rancour, Paddy said he wasn't interested in anyone
else's opinion of the Kelly's. "We know what we know, and that's our
business, he said"......

..........Greta cemetery is on a slight rise.....Johnny and I felt uneasy as 
we inspected the approximate site of Dan Kelly and Steve Hart's graves 
and Johnny hurried his photographs. It wasn't that we were frightened -- 
Paddy said we could do what we liked -- but we did feel as if we were
intruding and were a little ashamed."p115.

The Deakin University website has the following information on Greta;

        "In 1867 "The KELLY family moved into a former hotel that was now occupied by Ellen's sisters, Catherine and Jane LLOYD. The LLOYDs took up a parcel of land north of Greta which bordered the property of J W CHISOLM. The children attended a school at the back of the hotel." (Passey, 1986). "Ned's family took up residence in Greta township, in a big old rambling timber house that had previously been a hotel….. With fourteen rooms under the main roof, it was one of the largest local buildings… At the rear of their house the LLOYDs owned a detached brick building near a piggery and large stockyard. They allowed an elderly schoolmaster, John LYONS, to lease and renovate this building as the first local common school. The younger KELLY children most likely attended along with their cousins but no records survive." (McMenomy, 2001). "That old building [the hotel] was on the north end of O'BRIENs Hotel. It was burnt down by James KELLY, (Ned's Uncle) in 1868 after a drunkard rage."(Passey, 1986)". Source: http://www.deakin.edu.au/~kayep/geneal/greta.html

        "A site for a cemetery along Greta Road was selected in 1871 despite an area being allotted in Greta township when it was surveyed in 1852. This land was never gazetted, and the Greta Road site became permanent. The cemetery was situated in the area of Greta known as Hanson. Other developments followed in this locality. In 1878 a Methodist church was built, and William PEARD established a store. In 1888 the Greta Post Office was moved to the store. The original Post Office had been conducted at the farm of Thomas and Annie ELLIS. The name of the Hanson School was changed to Greta School to avoid confusion, as it was situated next to the relocated Greta Post Office. The original Greta school was changed to Greta West, as it was close to the Greta West Post Office. A Police station was opened at the "new" Greta in April 1889 opposite the store, and an Anglican church was opened in 1890". Source: http://www.deakin.edu.au/~kayep/geneal/greta.html
