  2. 1. Edward Hargraves mined for gold in California but wasn't successful but he realised that the California Gold Mines looked like his home.

    3. Over 40,000 Chinese people came to Australia in the gold rush.
    4. The Chinese were a lot more successful than the Europeans which led to riots.
