The first discoveries of payable gold were at Ophir in New South Wales and then at Ballarat and Bendigo Creek in Victoria. The gold rush began in Victoria in 1851 and quickly spread to other parts of the state, drawing thousands of miners from around the world. The influx of free immigrants brought new skills and professions, contributing to a burgeoning economy and leading to the development of more progressive cities from the former convict colonies. The gold rushes not only brought wealth but also created challenges like lawlessness and disputes over claims, influencing political developments and leading to the establishment of laws recognizing miners’ rights. The gold rushes marked the beginning of Australia’s reputation as a land rich in natural resources, laying the foundation for the thriving gold industry we see today. "Gold. Forgotten histories and lost objects of Australia" edited by Iain McCalman, Alexander Cook and Andrew Reeves. Discusses different aspects of gold on the community - immigrants, development on the Australian colonies, indigenous population, domestic culture, and material culture. Hard cover.
