Frank Gardiner became a bushranger after serving time for horse stealing in 1850. After he was sentenced to five years in Pentridge Gaol, he escaped and took up bushranging in the district around Goulburn, New South Wales.

John "Black" Caesar was an Australian who was known as a "bushranger." He stole animals and food, along with other burglaries.

The Kelly gang had murdered police informer Aaron Sherritt on 27 June 1880, and as a result, they expected a large number of police to travel to Glenrowan by train. When the Kelly gang arrived at Glenrowan, they tried to coerce some of the townsfolk into helping lift the rail tracks, hoping to cause the train to crash and kill a large number of the expected police. Not many of the townsfolk were willing to assist, so the people were rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train.

After entertaining the hostages for hours with games and dancing, the Kelly gang allowed the more trusted hostages to go home at nightfall, as the train was running late. Thomas Curnow, the local schoolteacher, was one of those released, and when he heard the approaching train in the early hours of June 28th, he ran quickly to warn of the danger ahead. This gave the police time to prepare. Wearing their famous armour, the Kelly brothers held a shootout with police. Several hostages were injured in the gun battle and two later died from gunshot wounds.

Bushrangers in NSW in the 1850's - 1870's wore the working man's dress of the day, that is moleskin or cord material trousers, a long sleeved shirt with a collar and sometimes a vest over that. They wore a cravat or kerchief tied around the collar like a tie and on the head a straw hat made from the plaited leaf of the local cabbage tree palm or a felt brimmed hat. They looked much neater than the movie American cowboy and were better armed as well. The Navy Colt was a favoured handgun and was often stolen from troopers or settlers during a bail-up. When their clothing got too soiled to wear, they'd just steal more. Some were gentlemen, others were complete rogues. Some noteable bushrangers were Ben Hall, Johnny Gilbert, Captain Moonlight and "Mad Dan" Morgan.

Ben Hall was a successful grazier, and it is unknown why he turned to bushranging. There was an incident when he was falsely accused and arrested for robbery, then acquitted. 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.

Matthew Brady was also a famous Australian Bushranger.

He was born in Manchester, England 1799 and transported to Botany Bay for forgery and later transported to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). In 1824 he escaped from Macquarie Harbour aboard a stolen whale boat with 13 others, and proceeded to rob homes, small towns and travellers along the country roads all around Tasmania. In 1824 Governor Arthur posted a reward for his capture. Brady was betrayed by an informer named Cowan who joined the gang in 1825, resulting in a clash with soldiers of Lieutenant Williams' 40th Regiment during which several gang members and soldiers were killed. A wounded Brady fled to the bush and was pursued and captured by John Batman (who later founded Melbourne) and his Aboriginal trackers. He was taken to Hobart Town, tried and sentenced to death, and was hanged in April 1826.

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.

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.

1,000 pounds for his capture.
