Why then do Australians rate bushrangers so highy?

Although bushrangers are criminals and there will always be criminals, but many bushrangers became bushrangers as a result of social and political forces. During Australia's colonial period, many settlers were of Irish descent, and catholic, which was not a great thing in the eyes of the British Colonial government of the time. Also, the Victoria Police were of questionable value and notoriously corrupt. Between the two problems, many people were compelled to move or rebel. Ned Kelly was one of those who rebelled and became something of a folk hero in the process. Whilst it could be argued that his short life of crime was for his own benefit, there is enough documentary evidence to support the notion that he gave much of the proceeds of his robberies to victims of colonial oppression (Robin Hood style). Ned Kelly was the most notorious of these bushrangers, there were others, but the majority of bushrangers were just bottom feeders who felt that life for them would be easier if they did not have to work for a living, just like today's criminals all over the world.

What is the collective noun for bushrangers?

A gang of bushrangers, like "Ned Kelly's gang."A collective noun is a word for a group of people or things.

You have to use a general collective noun used for people based on their situation or activity, including group to start you off; a troop of bushrangers, a crowd of bushrangers, a mob of bushrangers, a boatload of bushrangers, a convention of bushrangers, a meeting of bushranges, a party of bushrangers, or a pair of bushrangers.
