History
The discovery of gold near Bathurst in 1851 quickly attracted attention and brought thousands of people to New South Wales. Later that same year, even larger gold deposits were found in Victoria, drawing more prospectors from around the world. People arrived from regions such as Britain, China, the United States, and Europe, turning once-quiet areas into active mining communities.
