The initial boom lasted a decade and a half, with the total output for the first ten years a staggering £124 million worth of gold – £110 million from Victoria alone. A seminal moment in the creation of the Australian nation, the most obvious impact of the 1850s Gold Rush was on population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAround 405,000 people inhabited the colonies in 1851 – by 1861 it had risen to well over one million. In Victoria, the centre of the rush for gold, the population rose from 75,000 to 540,000 in ten years. The prospect of finding gold in the east saw a severe exodus from South Australia, as the colony fell into a labour crisis, a currency shortage and near-bankruptcy. S.T. Gill was one of the South Australians who raced to the east, but rather than finding gold, he found fame in capturing life on the goldfields through his artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAfter the chaos of the outbreak of ‘gold fever’, the discovery of the world’s favourite precious metal had a galvanising impact on the soon-to-be nation. The resulting rapid growth in trade, agriculture, transport and communication necessitated a sharp focus on responsible government, with colonial administrations now faced with demands from a growing population for roads, rail, water, land reform and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eForging a sense of national identity, sparking political awareness, and providing the wealth necessary for infrastructural development, the Gold Rush was the pivotal moment on Australia’s road to nationhood, ultimately achieved at Federation in 1901.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e‘Samuel Thomas Gill, The artist of the Goldfields’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe words above are inscribed on S.T.
