Gold prospecting in Victoria Australia
Victoria contributed more than one third of the world’s gold output in the 1850s and in just two years the State’s population had grown from 77,000 to 540,000!
Australia attracted adventurers from all around the world. The majority of these new arrivals were British but also included Americans, French, Italian, German, Polish and Hungarian exiles.The largest foreign contingent on the goldfields was the 40,000 Chinese who made their way to Australia.
At the end of the gold rush decade, the population of Victoria had reached over 500,000 – a dramatic increase from 80,000 in 1851 – and over 25 million ounces of gold had been extracted from the Victorian fields, the equivalent of eleven billion dollars today. View Australian gold nuggets for sale
