During the Australian gold rush in the 19th century, several animal species were introduced, including horses, cattle, and sheep to support the growing population of miners and settlers. Additionally, rabbits were introduced in the 1850s for sport and food, but they quickly became a significant ecological pest. Other animals, such as pigs and goats, were also brought over, contributing to the changing landscape and agriculture in Australia.
