Bushranger
Hey kiddo, do you know who a bushranger is? They're like the wild west cowboys but in Australia!
So, a long long time ago, when Australia was still a British colony, some people living in the bush (the wild and rural parts of Australia) weren't happy with how things were going. They didn't like the British government, and thought they should be able to live their own way.
These people decided to become bushrangers, which is like being an outlaw. They would rob banks, steal from people traveling on the roads, and sometimes even hold up whole towns! They would wear a lot of non-traditional clothing, like coats and hats, and they always carried weapons like guns and knives. They even had their own secret language, so they could talk to each other without anyone knowing what they were saying.
Nowadays, being a bushranger is very illegal and not a nice thing to do at all. But back then, some people thought they were pretty cool because they would stand up to the British and try to make their own way in the world. But did you know that some of these bushrangers became famous legends, like Ned Kelly?
Anyway, that's the story of the bushrangers, AKA Australia's own version of the wild west cowboys!
