Bushrangers
A few weeks ago 5OK were asked the question, if you were transported back in time to the 1800s to be a bushranger in Australia, which one would you be? They needed to research four bushrangers, present a poster on their findings and decide which bushranger they would be.
Write a comment sharing with us which bushranger you chose and why. If you are not in 5OK but would like to share with us which bushranger you would be feel free to leave a comment aswell.

For a bushranger I would be for my project would be Dan Morgan “Mad Dog”. Because he was arrested for armed robbery for 12 years and was released 6 years later after a ticket of leave.

I would be Ben Hall. The gang committed more robberies/hold ups than any other gang in history. He would be betrayed by a friend for the reward. There are many songs about him.

If I could be any bushranger, I would probaly be Martin Cash because he didn’t get killed while he was a bushranger. He died of a heart attack when he was 70 or something. I would hate to be hanged in pain or get shot.
