1866. Evidence before the 1890 Select
Committee was that the Mrs Julia Farrell who panned for gold with Mrs Margaret Kennedy died before 1890. In fact she died before 1870 when her widowed husband Patrick Peter Farrell, cooper, married a Margaret Dixon at Ballarat (Victorian Mariage Registration: 1870, Patrick Peter Farrell, #3920 – it is also of interest that a Margaret Kennedy was a witness to this wedding, possibly Mrs. Margaret Kennedy who at that time was living at Buninyong near Ballarat.). There is also no evidence that Patrick Peter Farrell, the cooper at Ravenswood Station in 1851, ever had children. The incorrect Mrs Julia Farrell is found living with her husband, the incorrect Patrick Farrell, pensioner, in the 1903 electoral roll at 48 Harmsworth St, Collingwood, while at the same time the correct Patrick Peter Farrell (c. 1830–1905), pensioner, is shown living at 21 Wood St, Collingwood. In the 1905 electoral roll, the wrong Julia Farrell was still living at 48 Harmsworth St (with her deceased husband also listed, as his name had not yet been removed from the electoral roll), while Patrick Pater Farrell had moved to 34 Vere Street, Collingwood, where he is also recorded on the 1905 Victorian Directory as Patrick P. Farrell. (In 1890, Patrick Peter Farrell, a cooper, gave his address to the 1890 Select Committee as 544 Canning St, Carlton; on 7 November 1892, he was recorded in the Victorian Rate Book as Patrick P. Farrell, also a cooper, at 22 Hood St, Collingwood in a house owned by a Henry Farrell; in 1893, the Victorian Directory records him as Patrick P. Farrell next door at 21 Hood St, while the 1899 Victorian Referendum records him as a cooper at 21 Hood St.) Further evidence that the incorrect couple were researched is found in Rita Hull's book at page 19. Here she writes about the Julia and Patrick Farrell that she researched living with their daughter at Eaglehawk, near Bendigo, in 1879 and 1884 and having been admitted to Bendigo Goldfields Hospital: Julia Farrell in 1879, and Patrick Farrell in 1884. The admission record for this Patrick Farrell on 5 November 1884 lists his occupation as drover, not cooper. The correct man, Patrick Peter Farrell, is stated to be a cooper in 1851, in 1890 at the Select Committee, on 7 November 1892 Victorian Rate Book, and on the 1899 Victorian Referendum. The only time his occupation is shown as anything but a cooper was after he retired when on the 1903 and 1905 electoral rolls he is shown as a pensioner. He was never a drover. The death certificate for Patrick Peter Farrell provides very little detail about his life apart from the fact that he was born in Ireland, and none about his wife Julia. No documentary evidence has been found about his wife, Mrs Julia Farrell (c. 1830–bef. 1870), apart from that in relation to the 1890 Select Committee. Her death was not recorded. As no marriage was recorded in Australia for Patrick Peter Farrell to Julia, they may have married in Ireland.

was taken up for a considerable distance. I have very little hesitation in stating that two-thirds of the people congregated there had never been on a diggings before, and seemed to be quite at a loss what to do. Very few of them had tents to live in or tools to work with; and I am afraid that the majority of those had not sufficient money to keep them in food for one week...From all that I could glean from miners and others, with whom I had an opportunity of speaking, respecting the diggings, I think it very probable that a permanent gold-field will be established at, or in the vicinity of, Gympie Creek; and if reports-which were in circulation when I left the diggings-to the effect that several prospecting parties had found gold at different points, varying from one to five miles from the township, be correct, there is little doubt but it will be an extensive gold-field, and will absorb a large population within a very short period.

On 17 September 1892 Wesley rode the 185 km (115 mi) with this gold into Southern Cross to register their reward-claim for a new find of gold. Within hours had started what was at first called the Gnarlbine Rush. Overnight the miners who were flocked on the Southern Cross diggings moved to the more lucrative Coolgardie Goldfield. The reward-claim for Bayley's party for discovering the new goldfield was to be granted a 100-foot (30.5-metre) deep claim along the line of reef. This claim was said to cover an area of five acres (2.0 hectares). On 24 August 1893, less than a year after Arthur Bayley and William Ford's discovery of gold at Fly Flat, Coolgardie was declared a town site, with an estimated population of 4,000 (with many more mining out in the field).

Teetulpa had the largest number of diggers of any field at any time in the history of South Australian gold discoveries. By the end of 1886, two months into the rush, there were more than five thousand men on the field. A reporter noted: "All sorts of people are going – from lawyers to larrikins ... Yesterday's train from Adelaide brought a contingent of over 150 ... Many arrived in open trucks ... Local ironmongers and drapers were busy fitting out intending diggers with tents, picks, shovels, rugs, moleskins, etc." Good mining at Teetulpa lasted about ten years. For a time, it had a bank, shops, hotel, hospital, church and a newspaper. The largest nugget found weighed 30 oz (850 g).

Margaret only had 3 children in 1851, but this is not supported by an additional two pieces of documentary evidence: (1) a newspaper article in "The Argus", 1941 (reference follows) where Mary Jane was interviewed and gave her age at the time that her mother found gold (late 1851) as being 2 years of age, and not 1 year of age as suggested by her parents' death registrations; and, (2) the Victorian birth registration #42857 for their daughter Lucy Kennedy for 1852 (in the name of Lucy Kenny) which is a record of her baptism on 19 April 1852 and records her date of birth as 9 March 1851 (and gives her father's occupation as overseer), again disagreeing with the ages shown on her parents' death registrations that suggest that she was born in 1852.

This gold find was probably at Mangana and that there is a gully there known as Major's Gully. The first payable alluvial gold deposits were reported in Tasmania in 1852 by James Grant at Managa (then known as The Nook) and Tower Hill Creek which began the Tasmanian gold rushes. The first registered gold strike was made by Charles Gould at Tullochgoram near Fingal and Managa and weighed 2 lb 6 oz (1,077 g). Further small finds were reported during the same year in the vicinity of Nine Mile Springs (Lefroy). In 1854, gold was found at Mt. Mary.

About April 1847, a shepherd took a sample of ore about the size of an apple, that he believed to be copper, into the jewellery store of Charles Brentani in Collins Street, Melbourne, where the sample was purchased by an employee, Joseph Forrester, a gold and silver smith. The shepherd refused to disclose to Forrester where he had obtained the nugget, but stated that "there was plenty more of it where it came from" on the station where he worked about 60 miles (97 km) from Melbourne. The sample was tested by Forrester and found to be 65 percent virgin gold. A sample of this ore was given to Captain Clinch who took it to Hobart.

(It is estimated that as much as 23,000 ounces of gold was taken from the fields around Halls Creek, but with much leaving the field through the Northern Territory.) Hardman's contribution was recognised, however, with a gift of £500 (equivalent to A$ 80,000 in 2022) to his widow Louisa Hardman. Another £500 was given to Charles Hall and his party.

The "another account" is from the testimony of the brothers William and Walter Roberts Sandbach who had been employed as shepherds in 1851.

This was a reef-mining area with only a small amount of alluvial gold., and as a result received negative reviews from miners who wanted easier pickings. Nevertheless thousands of men rushed to the field, and a public battery was set up to crush the quartz ore in 1872. The town of Charters Towers grew to become the second largest town in Queensland during the late 1880s with a population of about 30,000.

The Bertini's shop was thronged by persons wanting to see the nugget and asking where it had been found. This find sparked a mini gold rush with about a hundred men rushing to the site. This could perhaps be categorised as the first, though unofficial, gold rush in Victoria, or perhaps the gold rush that was stamped out.
