No matter which decade they lived in, bushrangers used the cover of the Australian bush, which was dense and therefore easy for them to hide in, to ambush travellers or people living in outlying settlements. Once the goldrushes of the 185os began, there were plenty of pickings among the coaches that carried the gold and currency between the major centres. Bushrangers in these times targetted the coaches because, even though they often had police escorts, experienced bushrangers could easily ambush the travellers and overpower the police. Some of the bushrangers robbed banks.
