The term "bushranger" refers to outlaws or bandits in Australia during the 19th century, particularly those who operated in rural or bush areas. These individuals often engaged in theft, robbery, and other criminal activities, evading capture by the authorities. Bushrangers are often romanticized in Australian folklore as figures of rebellion against colonial oppression. Notable bushrangers include Ned Kelly and Ben Hall, who became iconic symbols of Australian history.
The term "bushranger" does not need a capital "B" when used in a general sense to refer to any outlaw or bandit operating in the bush. However, when used as part of a specific title or name, such as "Bushranger Jack," it should be capitalized. In most contexts, it is treated as a common noun.
