Description
Australia experienced several gold rushes during the 19th century. The most significant was in Victoria, changing the demographic and economic climate of the entire country, however, other states also experienced their own share of the excitement, which provided a much needed lift to the fortunes of colonies struggling to find identities after the end of the convict transportation era. This resource examines the gold rushes of the 19th century in different states of Australia and considers how these impacted on society in general, as well as the demography and economics of the continent.
The resource aligns with Australian Curriculum History, Civics and Citizenship, Economics and Business and HASS for years 5 and 6.
