The earliest documented use of the term appears in a February 1805 issue of ''[[The Sydney Gazette]]'', which reports that a cart had been stopped between Sydney and [[Hawkesbury, New South Wales|Hawkesbury]] by three men "whose appearance sanctioned the suspicion of their being bush-rangers".<ref name=adob>Wilson, Jane (14 April 2015). [http://adb.anu.edu.au/essay/12 "Bushrangers in the Australian Dictionary of Biography"], Australian Dictionary of Biography. Retrieved 14 June 2018.</ref> [[John Bigge]] described bushranging in 1821 as "absconding in the woods and living upon plunder and the robbery of orchards." [[Charles Darwin]] likewise recorded in 1835 that a bushranger was "an open villain who subsists by highway robbery, and will sooner be killed than taken alive".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia
