Best Answer

The earliest busuhrangers were the "convict bolters", who were escaped convicts. The very first bushranger was John 'Black' Caesar, an escaped convict who was on the First Fleet, and began his bushranging activities from April 1789.

Bushrangers continued to be a problem in Australia right through to the last of the major bushrangers, Ned Kelly, who was hanged in 1880.

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.
