‘Bail up!’ – a mail-coach robbery in 1863; hold-ups along the goldfields roads in both Victoria and New South Wales were then commonplace. The 1850s and ’60s saw a change in the typical character of bushrangers, from the early generations of transported convicts towards often Australian-born highway robbers. Few of these achieved the successes and notoriety of the likes of the Gardiner or Hall gangs, however, and most made meagre pickings preying on ordinary ‘diggers’ and settlers.
