	Victorian Gold Rush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Victorian gold rush was a period in the history of Victoria in Australia between approximately 1851 and the early 1860s.
		The last major gold rush in Victoria was at Beringa, south of Ballarat, in the first decade of the 20th century.
		Gold mining later virtually ceased in Victoria, not because there was no more gold but in the main because of the depth and cost of pumping.

		Usually gold was found in small specks, but the gold rush fever was intensified by the occasional discovery of large nuggets.
		Today, the gold industry is well established and instead of hundreds of gold miners panning for gold in riverbeds and creeks, the work is done by huge machines that sift through mountains of rock, extracting microscopic amounts of the precious metal.
		Gold even travels into space because of its ability to reflect heat and radiation - it is used in the construction of satellites and as a thin coating on the visors of spacesuit helmets to protect astronauts!
