The main events of the Australian gold rush began when Edward Hargraves discovered payable gold at Summerhill Creek, near Bathurst, in February 1851 and the government made the official announcement in May of that year.
Less than three months after gold was "officially" discovered at Ophir in 1851, Victoria had its first gold strike at Sovereign Hill near Ballarat. While the Ballarat goldfields were rich and promising, the real goldrush began when gold was discovered at Mt Alexander, 60km northeast of Ballarat, and close to the town of Bendigo, in August 1851.
