Bushrangers survived 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.

Why was there so many bushrangers in the 1700s to the 1800s?

The high numbers of bushrangers in the 1700s and early 1800s were due to the numbers of escaped convicts. Becoming a bushranger was often the only way for an escaped convict to survive. Numbers of bushrangers after 1851 increased as a result of the gold rushes. Coaches or people on horseback carrying gold from the goldfields were easy targets for bushrangers.


Are there different types of bushrangers?

Yes, there were different types of bushrangers. The first group were the convict bolters, who were the escaped convicts who stole in order to survive. The most famous of these was John 'Black' Caesar. Then there were the 'wild colonial boys', the bushrangers before the gold rush, and who were often bd out in the bush, some of free settlers. 'Bold' Jack Donohoe epitomised these bushrangers. After 1851, there were the Goldrush bushrangers, which included Australia's most famous bushrangers, such as Ned Kelly, Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall and Thunderbolt.
