Some of the major difficulties that the early gold prospectors had faced in Australia during the gold rush included cultural conflicts and a lack of housing. Often, people of different cultures would fight and even kill other prospectors.
Gold miners could be called prospectors. Some prospectors who sought their fortunes during the California gold rush were called 49ers. (That gold rush began in 1848, but was really roaring in 1849, hence the nickname for those prospectors.)
Such people include geologists, hobby prospectors, commercial prospectors and not limited to curious individuals with the opportunity. Gold, being just about everywhere can be a rewarding adventure for everyone.
At this stage, there weren't many prospectors as people were not encouraged to find gold. Any gold that was found was supposed to be given to the government. However, prospectors tended to look for gold in mounatinous areas, such as through the Blue Mountains and the high country of southern New South Wales.
