Sydney 1850s Gold Rush
Australia experienced a number of gold rushes in the mid-19th century, beginning with the discovery of gold in Bathurst (150 km west of Sydney) in 1851. Large numbers of immigrant miners poured into Sydney and the population grew from 39,000 to 200,000 people 20 years later. Demand for infrastructure to support the growing population and subsequent economic activity led to massive improvements to the city’s railway and port systems throughout the 1850s and 1860s.
After a period of rapid growth, further discoveries of gold in Victoria began drawing new residents away from Sydney towards Melbourne (see Melbourne Translation Services) and a great rivalry began to grow between the two cities. The rivalry culminated as Australia moved to become a federation and both Melbourne and Sydney lobbied to be officially recognised as the capital city (a dispute settled with the creation of a new city, Canberra, instead)
Sydney 19th Century
Over the course of the 19th-century Sydney established many of its major cultural institutions. Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s vision for Sydney included the construction of grand public buildings and institutions fit for a colonial capital. Macquarie Street began to take shape as a ceremonial thoroughfare of grand buildings. He founded the Royal Botanic Gardens and dedicated Hyde Park to the “recreation and amusement of the inhabitants of the town and a field of exercises for the troops”.
Macquarie set aside a large portion of land for an Anglican Cathedral and laid the foundation stone for the first St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral in 1821. St Andrew’s Anglican Cathedral, though more modest in size than Macquarie’s original vision, later began construction and, after fire and setbacks, the present St Mary’s Catholic Cathedral foundation stone was laid in 1868, from which rose a towering gothic-revival landmark. Religious groups were also responsible for many of the philanthropic activities in Sydney. One of these was the Sydney Female Refuge Society set up to care for prostitutes in 1848.
Sydney’s first newspaper was the Sydney Gazette established, edited and distributed by George Howe. It appeared irregularly between 1803 and 1842, but nonetheless provides a valuable source on the early development of the colony based at Sydney. The Sydney Morning Herald joined the Sydney Gazette as a daily publication in 1831; it continues to be published to this day. Sponsored Article: City of Wanneroo Chinese translation services.
