Events linked to the Australian goldrush include:
- The Eureka Stockade, which occurred in Ballarat, Victoria, during the early years of the Australian goldrush. In the event, the gold miners rebelled against the miner's licence, barricading themselves behind a stockade. Early on Sunday, 3 December 1854, 276 police and military personnel and several civilians stormed the stockade. 22 diggers and 5 troopers died in the battle that followed. Although the rebellion itself failed in what it set out to do, it gained the attention of the Government. Following a Commission of Enquiry, changes were put in place. These included abolishing the monthly gold licences, which were 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. For these reasons, the Eureka Stockade is regarded by many as the birthplace of Australian Democracy.
- The development of the famous Australian coachline, Cobb & Co. Cobb & Co was a passenger and goods transport company which operated from 1853. It had an extensive network of travel routes throughout Victoria and New South Wales, and began on the Victorian goldfields. It later spread to southern Queensland. The company imported specially sprung coaches that could handle Australia's rough roads, and horses were changed at stations along the route.
- The influx of significant numbers of migrants certainly was a major event linked to the gold rush. Enormous numbers of immigrants, especially Chinese, brought their unique cultural influences to Australia, and many of the Chinese stayed on to build businesses in the towns once the main gold deposits were mined out. Gold attracted immigrants from many other European countries as well, and contributed in large part to the multicultural nature of Australia today.
- Federation was a major event that occurred several decades after the goldrush started, but which was closely linked to the Australian goldrush. 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.
