In the 1840s, Australian gold miners primarily lived in makeshift camps or tent cities near goldfields, such as those in Ballarat and Bendigo. These camps often consisted of simple tents or wooden shanties, as miners flocked to these areas in search of fortune. The living conditions were typically rough, with limited access to basic amenities, and the population in these areas swelled rapidly due to the gold rush. Many miners also established temporary communities, complete with shops and services, to support their needs.
Not always. Many Australian gold miners lived in tents, but many built rough bark lean-tos. Others built wooden shanties over time.

Conditions on the Australian goldfields were harsh. The fields were crowded: miners had between 1 and 3 square metres of 'claim' to live and work. Conditions were unsanitary, due to the open toilet trenches. Many diggers lived in tents, or even rough, open bark shelters. Those who stayed longer sometimes built larger slab hut dwellings, but these were still very basic. People would live in small humpies made out of wood, scraps and things found around the area. Also many people would live in a canvas tent because they were cheap and portable. Later in the gold rush, when people were more certain about whether they were staying or not, people might decide to live in small cottages. These cottages often incorporated solid brick and stone fireplaces, instead of the diggers having to do all their cooking outside.
because they wanted to start a new live!
