People who worked on the goldfields came from various regions, primarily including Europe, North America, and Australia. Many were drawn by the prospect of wealth and adventure, leading to significant migration from countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and China during the gold rushes of the 19th century. Local Indigenous populations also participated in the gold mining activities, although often under challenging circumstances. This diverse influx contributed to the multicultural character of goldfield communities.
