There was no 'Sovereign Hill' Gold Rush. Sovereign Hill is the name for an outdoor museum in Ballarat that shows what the gold rushes in Victoria (and inparticular, Ballarat) were like. Sovereign Hill captures the gold-rush period of 1851-1861 (mostly) in Ballarat, including replicas of the diggings, shops on the Main Road and houses. The Ballarat gold rush began after two men (Regan and Dunlop) found gold in Canadian Creek and were discovered by a reporter.
Due directly to the gold rushes, Victoria's population grew from a new colony of about 76,000 people in 1851, to the most prosperous colony with the largest population of 540,000 people by 1861. Victoria's population represented 45% of the Australian population.

Peter Lalor was not leader of the Ballarat gold rush. The gold diggers who were unhappy with the gold licencing system and unfair licence checks elected Lalor to be leader of the rebellion which came to be known as the Eureka Stockade.
