Some of Australia's most famous gold nuggets were:
- the "Welcome Stranger", the world's largest gold nugget, found on 5 February 1869. It measured 61cm by 31cm.
- This is not the same as the large "Welcome Nugget" found in Ballarat in 1858.
- Another large gold nugget found in Australia was the "Golden Eagle". It was discovered by sixteen-year-old Jim (or Jack) Larcombe on 8 January 1931 in Larkinville, Western Australia. It was found only 45cm below the surface of the ground, and it weighed 1136 troy ounces, or 35.3 kilograms. 62cm long, the nugget required two men to lift it. It was given the name "Golden Eagle" because it had an unusual resemblance to a bird.
