The gold rush was important to Australia because it helped to shape Australia in many ways - both positive and negative.
It gave Australian people a choice to vote, in what they believed in, the Eureka Stockade changed the licence fee from 30 shillings a mounth to one pound a year, the miners were sick of paying so much when some were not even finding gold, so the eureka stockade gave aussie people a chance to vote which the miners were very happy about.

The discovery of gold shaped Australian history in a number of ways.
The goldrush was very important to Australia for the political and social changes it brought.
Gold brought wealth to Australia, and with it, a new sense of identity, and the independence and confidence to push for Federation and the establishent of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. Basically, Australia no longer needed to be "piggybacked" by England any more. The goldrushes also helped bring improvements in transportation. The famous "Cobb and Co Coaches" ran successfully for half a century, thanks to the goldrush. Train lines were built, linking the major centres, and roadways were improved. Infrastructure generally saw improvements.
In addition, the events of the Eureka Stockade formed the basis for democracy that exists in Australia today. The miners fought for better rights amongst difficult conditions on the goldfields. While they did not immediately achieve their objective, it gained the attention of the Government. A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented. These included abolition of monthly gold licences, replaced by an affordable annual miner's licence. The numbers of troopers were reduced significantly, and Legislative Council was expanded to allow representation to the major goldfields.
