In the early days of Australias history bushrangers roamed the country side. They made a living by stealing horses and robbing banks and stores. Many were escaped convicts others were just young men looking for adventure and freedom.
The person that i chose to do is Frank Gardiner (Francis Christie) Frank Gardiner was one of the few bushrangers who didnt end up dying in prison or being shot or hanged. He was born in 1830 he began his life of crime by stealing horses when he was twenty,this made him get a five year jail sentence. After that he got caught again and got sent to jail for seven years but he was realeased after three.He then became a butcher and it became to know that the meat that he was selling came from stock that had been stolen.
Gardiner went to Queensland were he lived under another name and brought a shop.He was tracked down and arressted two years later. In 1864 he was sentenced to thirty-two years in jail.He spen the rest of his life in Sanfrancisco in America.
Some of his nicknames were:
Jones,Prince of the tobymen and King of the road
