The Australian Gold Rush was a period of significant migration to Australia in the mid-19th century, which saw an influx of prospectors in search of gold deposits. The gold rush began in New South Wales in 1851 and spread to other parts of Australia, including Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. The gold rushes were sparked by the discovery of gold in areas of New South Wales and Victoria, and were a major factor in the rapid population growth and economic development of the colonies in Australia. Gold rushes were often accompanied by a range of social and economic problems, including increased lawlessness, prostitution and gambling, and the displacement of Indigenous Australians from their land.

The gold rushes of the 19th century had a major impact on the development of the Australian nation.
