The first bushrangers were known as "convict bolters", that is, convicts who had escaped (bolted) and made their living by stealing from others travelling along the rough inland roads, or stealing from their properties.
The first time the word 'bushranger' was recorded was in February 1805, when it was reported in the Sydney Gazette that a horse and cart had been stopped by three men 'whose appearance sanctioned the suspicion of their being bushrangers'.
It was after this that the name 'bushranger' was used for people who ambushed and stole from people on the roads or in the bush.
