Gold has captured the imagination since the earliest days of history. It has been associated with adventure, glory, power, wealth and greed. Civilisations have been destroyed and nations have gone to war for the sake of gold.
Australia would be a different place today had it not been for gold. During the gold rush era of the 19th century, people came from around the world to mine gold in Australia. The increased population created new jobs, and towns such as Melbourne and Ballarat became thriving cities.
Gold features in many myths, fairytales, legends and stories. Many people know about the mythical pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, magical objects made of gold such as harps and eggs.
