Our local bushrangers were Sam poo who reportedly was the only Chinese bushranger. He was caught at a creek called fly blowers ck.... Believe it or not lol. The governors were around here as well. Not real nice blokes though.
Yeah, he is listed down as the best/most successful Australian Bushranger of the time... He escaped from Cockatoo Island and was then on the run for a big number of years (can't remember off the top of my head..) haha

That was their ambition though.. They aimed to go and steal and hurt people.. It isn't like they are gonna offer the people they stole from a tea party.. lol hahah
