In 1854, a rough barricade on the Ballarat goldfields became one of the most contested symbols in Australian history.

The Eureka Stockade was brief, bloody and badly prepared. It was not a grand military rising, nor was it the clean democratic birth story later generations sometimes wanted it to be. It was a crisis born from gold, taxation, police power, humiliation, legal distrust and a colonial government that failed to understand the men it governed.
