The first gold in Victoria was found in Clunes on 11 June 1851, by James Esmond. Meanwhile, at almost the same time, gold was also discovered at Anderson's Creek, near Warrandyte, by Louis Michel, a publican from Melbourne.
However, on 9 August 1851, Victoria's goldrush began tentatively when gold was found at Sovereign Hill near Ballarat, in the same month Victoria gained its independence from the NSW colony. While the Ballarat goldfields were rich and promising, the real goldrush began when gold was discovered at Mt Alexander, 60km northeast of Ballarat, and close to the town of Bendigo, a few months later
In 1852, small traces of gold were found at Lucky Valley, Kilkivan and Warwick. Queensland's first significant goldrush was at Canoona, near Rockhampton, in 1858, but the goldrush started in earnest when James Nash discovered Queensland's two largest nuggets at Gympie in October 1867.
