Stories of the lives of people living in and around the goldfields in the Australian bush during the 1850's.

Rush was a historical drama set during the Victorian Gold Rush during the 1850s. The first series was set at "Crocker's Gully", a fictitious goldfield created for the series at the foothills of the Dandenongs, near Melbourne. The village of tents and timbered huts was modeled on the lithographs of Samuel Thomas Gill, an artist who portrayed life on the Victorian goldfields during the 1850s. The second season was set in the fictional New South Wales gold-rush town of Turon Springs in the the 1860s.
