dec 3, 1854 - The Eureka Stockade

Description:

The Eureka Stockade (also known as the Eureka Rebellion), started on December 3, 1854. Many people went to Ballarat, Victoria, Australia to find gold, which started a gold rush. The Eureka Stockade was caused by a disagreement over what gold miners felt were unfair laws and policing of their work by government. Since then, tourist now go to places that remake the Eureka Stockade (such as me) e.g. Sovereign Hill.
