gold rush gold rush 9se australia victorian aus victoria

Following the huge gold rushes were the Chinese in 1854. Their presence on the
goldfields of Bendigo, Beechworth and the Bright district resulted in riots, entry
taxes, killings and segregation in the short term and became the foundations of
the White
Australia policy. ^[6] In short, the gold
rush was a revolutionary event and reshaped Victoria, its society and politics.

- Australia's population changed dramatically as a result of the rushes. In 1851
  the Australian population was 437,655, of which 77,345, or just under 18%, were
  Victorians. A decade later the Australian population had grown to 1,151,947 and
  the Victorian population had increased to 538,628; just under 47% of the
  Australian total and a seven-fold increase. In some small country towns where
  gold was found aboundant, the population could grow of over 1000% in a decade
  (e.g. Rutherglen had a population of ~2'000. Ten years later, it had ~60'000
  which is a 3000% increase). The rapid growth was predominantly a result of the
  gold rushes.^[7]
  - Tells of how greedy people were towards the gold rush. they all came to australia and then missed out on gold anyways!
