When was gold found in Australia and by who?
Gold was first officially discovered in Australia in 1851, not far from Bathurst, New South Wales by Edward Hargraves. He enlisted the assistance of John Lister, a man who had already found gold in the Bathurst region. Lister led Hargraves to where gold was found, at Summerhill Creek, at a site which Hargraves named "Ophir". Hargraves has been credited with the discovery ever since, even though, by rights, credit should go to Lister.However, there were numerous gold discoveries in Australia as early as the 1820s and 30s, but they were kept secret, for fear of sparking off unrest among the convicts. Surveyor James McBrien reported finding gold near Bathurst, NSW in 1823. Polish explorer Paul Strzelecki found gold near Hartley Vale in 1839. All these discoveries were kept secret, for fear of sparking off unrest among the convicts. When Reverend WB Clark found gold near Lithgow in 1841, he was requested by Governor Gipps to keep quiet about it.
