China and Australia are the world's largest producers of gold.
Australia's national colours are green and gold. These colours was selected because they are the colours of Australia's national floral emblem, the Golden Wattle.
Australia is a massive mine/quarry for almost all minerals and metals. Just look at the two major economies that didn't get hit by the GFC. China (the customer) & Australia (the vendor). The better question would be "What are the names of the places in Australia where gold can not be found?"
Teddy Flack won the Australia's first two gold medals in 800 meter run and 1500 meter run at the 1896 Games in Athens.
Edward Hargraves, together with John Lister were regarded for the Australian Gold rush. The gold rush started when the two found gold in 1851 in Lewis Ponds Creek, Australia.
Australia did not win a gold medal at Montreal in 1976. It was this failure that led to the establishment of the Australian Institute of Sport. Australia also failed to win a gold medal at the 1920 Summer Games in Antwerp and the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin. Also, the 1904 Games in St. Louis but they only had two athletes competing.
The term "Gold Coast" primarily refers to the coastal region of Ghana in West Africa, which was historically known for its gold resources. However, if you are referring to the Gold Coast in Australia, it is predominantly located in Queensland. Thus, the two countries most associated with the term "Gold Coast" would be Ghana and Australia, depending on the context.
The Gold Coast, Australia, is on the Coral Sea, an offshoot of the Pacific Ocean. The former Gold Coast in western Africa (now Ghana) lies on the Gulf of Guinea, which opens out onto the Atlantic Ocean.

The Gold Rush was mostly focused on two areas of California: the Northern California gold fields and the Sierra Nevada gold fields. It started when gold was discovered at Sutter's mill in Coloma - which lies on the edge of what became the Sierra Nevada gold fields. The Sierra Nevada gold fields stretched from several miles north of Feather River to several miles south of Mariposa, CA. A smaller portion of the gold seekers concentrated in the Northern Califonia gold fields which lay in the present-day Siskiyou, Shasta and Trinity Counties. Gold was also discovered in Southern California but on a much smaller scale. The first discovery of gold in the mountains north of present-day Los Angeles had been in 1842, six years before the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill. However these deposits and later discoveries in Southern California mountains, attracted little notice and were not really part of the gold rush.
