Sebastopol was one of the settlements in the Woolshed valley that grew up after the discovery of gold in about [[1854-1863 Events|1853]]. Sebastopol was named after the site of the battle in the Crimean War that was fought between the British and the Russians. '''The Napoleon''' was an other community in the area and [[EI Dorado|Eldorado]] was a bit further down Reedy Creek.

Map The [[Mrs Margaret Byrne|Byrne]] family and Aaron [[Aaron Sherritt|Sherritt]] lived at Sebastopol. It was on the right bank down stream from the Devil's Elbow. The settlement, on the bank of Reedy Creek, was the site of [[Gold Mining|gold]] mining area. ([[The Argus at KellyGang 15/8/1864 (3)|Argus15/8/64]])
In the 1870s it was being worked over again by [[Chinese|Chinese]] miners.

<blockquote>In January [[1874-1877 Events|1877]] Joe Byrne got 6 months for assaulting a [[Chinese|Chinaman]] who tried to stop him swimming in the [[Woolshed|Woolshed]] dam.
On 6/11/[[ev78-10--4Mansfield Murders|1878]] Sup [[Sadleir|Sadleir]] got news that the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]''' had been at Sheep Station Creek near Sebastopol and that they were still there. This led to the famed [[Sebastopol Cavalcade|Sebastopol cavalcade]] when a large number of mounted police turned up for a special '''KellyGang''' hunt. ([[Royal Commission report day 1 page 4|RC11]]) ([[The Complete Inner History of the KellyGang and their Pursuers (30)|JJK]])
On [[events 1879-11/ 1879-12|13/11/1879]] there was a plan for Jack [[John Sherritt Jnr|Sherritt]] meet the '''[[KellyGang|KellyGang]]''' at Evans Gap and to go off and rob the [[Banks- local branch|bank]] at [[Yackandandah|Yackandanda]]. ([[Royal Commission report day 44 page 4|RC15284]])
[[Aaron Sherritt|Aaron Sherritt]] lived at Sebastopol at the time of his death ([[The Argus at KellyGang 8/7/1880 (3)|Argus8/7/80]])
The '''KellyGang''' were supplied with provisions by the [[Chinese|Chinese]] storekeeper at Sebastopol. ([[Royal Commission report day 18 page 9|RC5489]]) E Fang was the storekeeper (RC14973)([[Royal Commission report day 45 page 1|RC15298]])
The Royal Commission found that in the autumn of 1880 the '''KellyGang''' were usually in the vicinity of the [[Greta Swamp|Greta Swamp]], from which they would move back to the ranges, get across the [[Ovens River|Ovens River]] towards Sebastopol, and from thence to the Pilot Range, near [[Wodonga (2)|Wodonga]].
