How the Gold Rush Changed Australia
The 1850's Gold Rush completely changed the face of Australia. 370,000 immigrants moved to Australia in 1852 alone. This dramatically increased the population and economic growth. The Gold Rush pulled Victoria out debt and built skyscrapers and exquisite buildings in Melbourne making it 'Marvellous Melbourne'. These things made Melbourne, Victoria and more importantly Australia, the place we know today.
With the gold coming in the immigrants followed. With 370,000 moving to Australia in 1852 the country started to change. People were coming to Australia by choose and not by crime. England stopped sending convicts over because Australia was getting wealthy and believed convicts don't deserve to be here. Australia was no longer a prison, but more of a gold filled paradise.
The economy boosted in the 1850's gold rush. Miners pay was multiplied by more than 70% and all wages were increased, some more dramatically than others.
