Where were the mining places in Australia during the gold rush?

Each of the states in Australia had gold discoveries. The main goldfields were:

• Near Bathurst, at Ophir, NSW, and nearby regions such as Young (Lambing Flat), Sofala and Hill End. There were also fields in the north around Bingara and Tingha.
• Bendigo and Ballarat in Victoria. The Bendigo/Ballarat/Castlemaine region remains one of Australia's richest gold-bearing regions. Beechworth was another goldining area.
• The goldfields of Gympie, Queensland, and far northern Queensland, as well as the central west such as Charters Towers.
• In Western Australia, the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie goldfields were discovered several decades later, in 1892 and 1893.
