New South Wakes and Victoria were the first states to have a goldrush, with each of the other states following in ensuing decades. Western Australia was the last colony to have a Goldrush, beginning in the 1890s, and after Federation, there was a small Goldrush in the Northern Territory, which is not a state, in the 1930s.
