New South Wales was a young colony. Mr. James McBrien, assistant gov- ernment surveyor, was exploring In the region of Fish River, between Bathurst and Rydal, New South Wales, when, on February 15, 1823. bq discovered the first gold ever found in Australia. It waa alluvial. He wrote In his field book, Found numerous particles of gold In the sand on the hills convenient to the river." As a good public servant, Mr. McBrien went on with the job in hand, completed his survey, and made his report Tbe passage which referred to the discovery of gold was suppressed, because the governor feared that a gold fever might spread and destroy discipline. In 1S39 Count Strzlecki found gold beyond the Blue mountains, and he, too, was asked to keep his discovery secret It was not until 1851 that the secret leaked out Bathurst Ballarat and Bunlnyong became Instantly famous overseas, for. In the last five months of that year, Victoria alone produced more than $5,000,000 worth of gold. ngllshmen, Gerfilled mans, and Scandinavians every available ship for Australia. More ships were chartered. Disappointed diggers from the California goldfields- came to try their luck In the new El Dorado, and before' the end of 1852 the population of Australia had trebled. In the first ten years of the rush there was one of the most sensational outpourings of wealth In the history of the world. Official figures showed a production of $528,353,000 worth of gold, from 1851 to 1SG0, but that was a gross underestimate. The most successful diggers, who had made their fortunes, went back to their home countries, carrying large quantities of undeclared gold. That the discovery of gold was the key to the economic development of Australia Is shown by the fact that those states in which gold was discovered early have maintained their economic ' supremacy to this day. Western Australia, the largest of the states, where gold was not discovered In quantity until 1887, was unprogressive In spite of every effort of government and private enterprise until that time. Since McBrien's amazing discovery, $3190,000,000 worth of gold has been produced In Australia, of which Victoria produced almost . . one-hal- f.
