The goldrush in Australia lasted for about twenty-five years. The first "official" strike occurred in 1851 (even though unofficial gold strikes had been made in NSW and South Australia prior to then) and new strikes were made in Western Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory in the 1870s. During this time, huge gold boom towns sprang up around the diggings. Some diggers saw the lucrative market in supplying goods to the diggers, and left their own unproductive diggings in order to make more money as merchants, where they could charge overinflated prices as the diggers did not wish to travel to the larger cities for their supplies. These towns supplied employment for many more of the diggers. Other diggers eventually returned to their homes and previous trades. Some left Australia for better prospects overseas, once the gold seemed to run out.
