 | | Six months after gold was found in New South Wales, it was found in Victoria at Ballarat, and a short time later at Bendigo Creek. |
 | | Gold was found all over Australia; it was discovered in Western Australia in the 1850s, in Queensland in 1853, in the Northern Territory in 1865, and at Beaconsfield, Tasmania in 1869. |
 | | With the goldrush came a huge influx of immigrants, the continent´s population increasing threefold from 430,000 in 1851 to 1.7 million in 1871. |
