Ballarat - Eureka Centre Located at 102 Stawell Street, the Eureka Centre is a striking building, set amidst fine lawns and gardens of the Eureka Stockade Memorial Gardens which include a huge Eureka Flag on a 50 metre mast. It has been erected at the site of the 1854 Eureka Stockade Rebellion and its galleries illustrate the Eureka story. Its most important exhibit is the Eureka Flag - the flag of the Southern Cross.
The Eureka Rebellion
The goldrushes in Australia, which lasted from the 1850s through to the 1880s, were wild affairs attracting prospectors and miners from all over the world and resulting, at least for some men, in vast fortunes and huge discoveries. The most impressive were in Victoria and there are literally dozens of towns - some still prosperous, some nothing more than ghostly remnants - where gold was discovered and fortunes were made. Wherever a goldrush occurred in the state, a gold commissioner was appointed to provide law and order and to collect, from the miners, a monthly licence fee.
The licensing system had been introduced in 1851 and was a payment of £1/10/- a month for the right to dig for gold. Miners objected when gold at Ballarat became increasingly difficult to access.
Failure to pay for a licence entailed a £5 fine for a first offence and up to six months in gaol for a second. Resentment was intensified by police raids where anyone without a licence on their person was liable to arrest and fines. Many of the police were ex-convicts from Tasmania who received a payment of half the fine.
In June 1854 the Victorian lieutenant-governor, Sir Charles Hotham, noted that only 70% of the fees were being collected. In September that year he stepped up inspections from a monthly to a twice-weekly basis. The miners felt the impost was unfair. They did not have voting rights and they did not have political representation.
The catalyst for rebellion was a perception that miners were second class citizens in the eyes of the law. On 6 October, 1854, a miner named James Scobie was kicked to death shortly after entering the Eureka Hotel. The owner of the hotel and three other men, were charged with the murder. The case was heard by the stipendiary magistrate, the goldfields commissioner and the assistant commissioner and, even though the evidence was overwhelming, the four men were honourably discharged.
A public meeting was called and, on 17 October, several thousand miners gathered, denounced the finding and initiated a fund to provide reward money for further evidence. Afterwards, the men gathered outside the Eureka Hotel. The hotel was burnt down. The police, seemingly randomly, arrested three miners who were given short prison sentences for their part in the riot.
Another meeting was held on 11 November at Bakery Hill and the Ballarat Reform League was formed. The miners wanted comprehensive reform including universal suffrage, voting by ballot, annual parliaments, the payment of political representatives, the abolition of the licensing system, revision of laws relating to crown land and changes to the administration of the goldfields.
On 27 November a miners' deputation to Lieutenant-Governor Hotham requested the release of the three imprisoned miners. He declined but supported their desire for enfranchisement, reminded them that constitutional moves were afoot to achieve this outcome, said he would appoint their chosen representative to the legislative assembly and told them they could voice their grievances about the licensing system at a proposed commission of inquiry into the matter.
Another mass meeting was planned for the 29th so that the delegation could report back to the miners. Hotham was told by Commissioner Rede that he expected trouble and troops were dispatched to the area. Ominously, there was a skirmish as they entered Ballaarat on the evening of the 28th.
The delegation reported favourably about their meeting with Hotham but the miners decided to burn their licences at a public bonfire on Bakery Hill and to protect anyone facing arrest for being without one. That day the diggers, probably for the first time, sported their now famous blue flag adorned with the stars of the Southern Cross.
On the 30th Rede ordered a licence check. The police were rebuffed with stones and shots were fired. Rede called on the military and arrests were made. The miners elected Peter Lalor, a prominent figure of the Reform League, as their commander-in-chief. About 500 men took an oath to "fight to defend our rights and liberties" and set about erecting a stockade on the Eureka claim.
Commissioner Rede and the infantry captain learned about the miner's defences, including the fact that the numbers had dwindled to 150 untrained men as some had left and many were out scouting for food and ammunition.
In the early hours of 3 December, 152 infantry, 30 cavalry men and their officers, and 100 police approached the stockade by a circuitous route. They charged the camp, where many still slept, and overcame resistance within about 15 minutes. The troops almost certainly employed excessive force, needlessly destroying property and tents. Six police were killed. Peter Lalor claimed 22 miners died and another 12 later recovered from substantial wounds. 120 prisoners were taken, although some of the leaders escaped, including Lalor who went into hiding until a general amnesty was declared. Most were released but 13 were accused of high treason. Of these 12 would later be acquitted and proceedings were dropped against the 13th. The editor of the Ballarat Times received a six-month prison sentence for three counts of seditious libel.
Lieutenant-Governor Hotham appointed the promised commission of inquiry into the gold fields on 7 December. In March 1855 it recommended the abolition of the licensing fee and the establishment of a Miner's Right document which cost one pound per annum and which gave prospectors the title deed to their claim. It also advocated the opening of crown land to small landowners and an export duty on gold. All recommendations were eventually adopted.

Feothanach: Three Sisters across Smerwick Harbour Looking across the mouth of Smerwick Harbour from the townland of Feothanach, in the northwestern corner of the Dingle Peninsula (County Kerry, in southwestern Ireland), on a morning of shifting sun and cloud at the beginning of October.
On the other side are The Three Sisters and, further to the left (southwest), Sybil Head; together, these headland formations mark the northwestern edge of the Dingle.
The Dingle Peninsula is the northernmost of the five peninsulas of southwestern Ireland that stick out like fingers into the Atlantic Ocean. Its name in Irish is Corca Dhuibhne, sometimes Anglicised as Corkaguiny. Other Irish names: Sybil Head is Ceann Sibéal, while Smerwick is Ard na Caithne. According to Wikipedia (consulted 7 September 2015, but in an article that cites no source), the Irish name of the Three Sisters may be An Triúr Deirfiúr. The name "Smerwick" has Norse roots, a reminder of the Viking raids and Norse settlements in early medieval Ireland. (As "wick" or "vic" means "harbour," the name "Smerwick Harbour" is a bit of a tautology.)
(Irish names from the Ordnance Survey Ireland Discovery Series map no. 70; Placenames Database of Ireland, consulted 3 December 2014 and 7 September 2015; The Rough Guide to Ireland , by Paul Gray and Geoff Wallis (10th edition 2011), p. 304, 310; "Corkaguiny" alternative from Blue Guide Ireland , by Brian Lalor (8th edition, 1998), p. 276.)
