People from other countries came to Australia in their thousands to participate in the gold rush. Enormous numbers of immigrants, especially Chinese, came, while the gold also attracted immigrants from many other European countries and the Americas as well.
In Australia itself, people from all walks of life came to the goldfields. Many men who worked on the farms, sheep and cattle stations simply downed their tools and left. Workers, owners, roustabouts, stockmen, jackaroos - they left their jobs for the lure of the goldfields. In the cities, business owners, tradespeople and common labourers all left their workplaces to try their luck on the goldfields.
