Frank Gardiner became a bushranger through a series of events, and it seems that criminal intent was perhaps in his blood. At first he was just a petty criminal, being convicted of stealing horses in 1850. After he was sentenced to five years in Pentridge Gaol, he escaped and simply took up bushranging in the district around Goulburn, New South Wales.
He was arrested again for horse stealing in 1854, and sent to the Cockatoo Island gaol, but after he was released five years later on a ticket-of-leave, he broke parole by heading straight to the Kiandra gold diggings in the New South Wales high country.
Gradually, he fell back into crime, graduating from horse and cattle stealing, to highway robberies under arms, violent assaults, and the attempted murder of two police officers.

∙ 11y agoIt is not known exactly why "Mad" Dan Morgan became a bushranger. It can only be speculated that, as an abandoned baby who was adopted out to a single man at the age of two, he held a certain amount of animosity towards everyone in his world. Some reports say he was embittered when he was jailed for a crime he claimed he did not commit, and after that he sought revenge for being jailed wrongfully.

When he returned to his property he found his stock missing. It is speculated that he then became disillusioned with the 'straight' life, and instead turned to bushranging.
