2003 Sydney Morning Herald 1 Oct. 3/2 Ranga (Perth): A person with red hair, male or female. Believed to be derived from orang-utan, but is not derogatory.

2005 Daily Tel. (Sydney) (Nexis) 14 Mar. 15 They called me ranga, short for orang-utan because of my red hair. It affected my work and in the half-yearly exams I didn't do well.

2008 C. Deveny Say When 135 On Saturday night I was hoping Julia [Gillard] would say, ‘This is a victory for redheads, 'rangas and carrot tops everywhere.’

2015 Newcastle (Austral.) Herald (Nexis) 28 Jan. 13 Nick is a natural redhead who copped the odd taunt at school ‘about being a ranga and stuff’.
