Bushrangers obtained food by various means. Some of them stole provisions owned by the settlers in outlying areas, helping themselves freely to salted meats, potatoes, onions, flour and so on. They also stole from store owners in the towns.

Others hunted wild rabbits and native animals.

What did bushrangers steal?

The first bushrangers were escapees of the convict system. They had no where else to go besides the bush. Technically they did need to steal because they couldn't go back to where they started, asking for food. They stole horses, food from farms, they robbed banks and they robbed from the rich. Some people became bushrangers perhaps out of boredom, and some where desperate to get away from everything.
