Riot or Revolution? The Eureka Stockade 1854

The Eureka Stockade was a civilian revolt against the gold licence. Drawings and archival photographs depict the events that lead to the battle between gold miners and authorities at the Eureka Stockade. It describes the emergence of Peter Lalor as the leader of the Stockade and how the diggers used the Southern Cross flag.
