Gold was found in every single state of Australia during the 19th century.
- Gold was found in New South Wales in towns around the Bathurst area in 1851, including Ophir, Lucknow, Sofala and Hill End. It was also found in other places such as Young and Bingara.
- The first gold in Victoria was found in Clunes on 11 June 1851, by James Esmond. However, on 9 August 1851, Victoria's goldrush began tentatively when gold was found at Sovereign Hill near Ballarat, in the same month Victoria gained its independence from the NSW colony. While the Ballarat goldfields were rich and promising, the real goldrush began when gold was discovered at Mt Alexander, 60km northeast of Ballarat, and close to the town of Bendigo, a few months later.
- In South Australia, gold was not as important in the state's economic development, but gold was still found in numerous places, such as Castambul in January 1846, and later on, Blinman, Yudanamutana, Beltana and other places.
- In 1852, small traces of gold were found at Lucky Valley, Kilkivan and Warwick. Queensland's first significant goldrush was at Canoona, near Rockhampton, in 1858, but the goldrush started in earnest when James Nash discovered Queensland's two largest nuggets in a gully off the Mary River near Gympie in October 1867.
Other places where gold was found in Queensland include regions around Sarina, Bowen, Charters Towers, Mount Coolon, Ravenswood, Forsayth, Kidston, Georgetown and Croydon.
- The first payable gold was discovered in Tasmania in February 1852, at Tullochgorum in Tasmania's east.
- In 1892, gold was found at Coolgardie, Western Australia, sparking off the gold rush in Western Australia.
