Gold brings wealth to a nation
The Australian gold rush was a period of time that began in 1851. It started with the discovery of payable gold at Ophir, neat Bathurst in New South Wales which was found by Edward Hargraves , then within a few months, the real gold rush started when gold was found first at Ballarat, Victoria, then nearby Bendigo shortly afterwards. The gold rush lasted several decades, as gold was found in other areas, including Western Australia and Queensland. During this time, thousands and thousands of immigrants came to Australia to try their luck on the goldfields. The Chinese, in particular, came in droves. Many of them found gold and returned home with their new wealth, but many stayed and set up various businesses in the towns. The towns themselves experienced huge growth during that period, but some of them died off once the gold was worked out.

Records do not give the names of all the people who came to Australia during the goldrush, but they came from countries around the world. Europeans, Americans, Africans, New Zealanders, and Asians - especially the Chinese - came in droves for the goldrush. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants came to Australia for the goldrushes in the mid 1800s. At the beginning of the goldrush, in 1851, Australia's population was about 430,000. Twenty years later, in 1871, the population had trebled to 1.7 million.
