The original “Eureka” – a whitefella rebellion – took place in 1854 on the Victorian Goldfields when diggers [miners] had had enough of unreasonably priced mining licences, and the brutality with which the money for licences was collected. The rebellion, and the Eureka flag raised during the rebellion, came to represent the willingness of Australian people, when treated unjustly, to stand up to authority.
