On November the 29th, 1854 a rebellion of miners led by Peter Lalor began at the Eureka Stockade on the Ballarat goldfields. On Sunday December 3rd in the early hours of the morning the stockade was attacked by government troops resulting in the deaths of 30 miners. The Eureka Stockade episode led to a royal commission which resulted in democratic changes ending the hated miner’s licence system and bringing in the ‘miner’s right’, a vote for the diggers.

Before dawn on 3 December 1854, colonial troopers at Ballarat attacked a group of gold miners who had thrown up a stockade in defiance and defence. Some diggers had guns, but many were unarmed; some twenty of them were killed, along with four troopers. In the decades that followed, the truth of what happened that morning became obscured by partisans on both sides. For many years the Eureka Stockade was regarded as a shameful event and almost forgotten; more recently, it has been celebrated as a righteous stand against injustice. John Molony's Eureka vividly recreates the story of Eureka and unravels the myths that have come to surround it. The story of Australia's first and only armed rebellion for democratic rights continues to provoke passionate controversy and debate. This new edition of Molony's classic work, now beautifully illustrated with historic Eureka images, will be welcomed by everyone with an interest in the history of Australian democracy.Moriarty, V, 'The Eureka Stockade: A Victory Won by a Lost Battle', Australiana v.26 (4), 2004, pp.18-22.
