A reward was offered for the discovery of gold.
Payable gold had already been discovered in New South Wales. Victoria had pushed for self-government and separation from NSW, and now the government was keen to establish its own source of wealth. It was believed that, if gold was discovered within 200 miles of Melbourne, people would flock to the new colony, and Victoria would become a wealthy colony in its own right.
To this end, Governor La Trobe assembled a Gold Discovery Committee on 9 June 1851, and offered a £200 reward to anyone who found payable amounts of gold.

Why did the government offer a reward in 1851?
Originally in Australia, the government did not offer reward for finding gold, as it was thought the early discoveries would cause unrest among the convicts. The government only offered a reward after transportation of convicts to Australia ceased. Following the end of transportation, the Australian government offered incentives to find gold in order to stem the tide of Australians leaving for the Californian goldrushes. Valuable manpower was being lost from Australia. Therefore, despite early gold discoveries being suppressed, the New South Wales government decided to offer a substantial reward to the first person to find gold. Only the first person needed a reward in order for people to stay in Australia. Once the goldrush began, Australian would-be prospectors concentrated their efforts at finding their "fortune in gold" on Australian soil.
