The Eureka Stockade, by Raffaello Carboni
In December 1854 in Eureka, State of Victoria, rebellious miners who had made a stockade were defeated in battle by police and troops.
There was a Gold Rush. The miners didn’t want to pay much per month for a mining license. The author of the book linked to above was a pan miner there and writes about his perpspective on the Victoria State Gold Rush of 1851-1860. He came over from Europe.
