  1. Eureka Stockade December 3rd,1854

  2. The Eureka Stockade occurred in Ballarat, Victoria, during the early years of the Australian gold rush. In the event, the gold miners rebelled against the miner's licence, which cost a monthly fee of 30 shillings and allowed the holder to work a meagre 3.6 metre square "claim". Licences had to be paid whether or not a digger found any gold. There were frequent licence hunts, during which the miners were ordered to produce proof of their licences, and this increased the sense of unrest. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_Eureka_Stockade#ixzz1YSdNslY9
