Bushranger
Bushrangers , or bush rangers , originally referred to runaway convicts in the early years of the British settlement of Australia who had the survival skills necessary to use the Australian bush as a refuge to hide from the authorities. The term "bushranger" then evolved to refer to those who abandoned social rights and privileges to take up " robbery under arms " as a way of life, using the bush as their base. [ 2 ] These bushrangers were roughly analogous to British " highwaymen " and American Old West " road agents ," and their crimes often included robbing small-town banks or coach services.
