The gold rush in Australia (and also overseas) highlighted the need for faster and better forms of transport. As a result, horse-drawn coachlines became more popular. These coaches were developed to suit the rough tracks to and from the gold diggings.

Within a few years of the first gold strikes, railways were being built as well.
