Australian Citizenship Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

When and where was gold discovered in Australia?

1850 in New South Wales

1860 in Queensland

1851 in Victoria

Gold was discovered in Australia in 1851 in Victoria. This marked the beginning of the Australian gold rush which lasted for several decades. The timing of the discovery in Victoria coincides with the Victorian gold rush, making it a well-known event in the history of Australia. While gold was also discovered in other states such as New South Wales and Queensland during this time period, it was not in the same magnitude as Victoria. Additionally, Tasmania did not experience a significant gold rush, and therefore, the option of 1870 in Tasmania is not accurate.
