Race to the Gold Diggings of Australia (1855)

Race to the Gold Diggings of Australia, produced at the height of the gold rush in the min-1850s, is the earliest known board game devoted to Australia. "In the game, children raced each other from Plymouth, in England, to Port Phillip, a stepping-off point in Victoria for those bound for the gold fields..."
