A turning point in Australia’s history In 1854, Victorian miners fought a deadly battle under the flag of the Southern Cross at the Eureka Stockade. Was this rebellion a fledgling nation’s first attempt to assert its independence? Or was it merely rabblerousing by unruly miners determined not to pay their taxes? In his inimitable style, Peter FitzSimons answers these questions and more, taking us into the hearts and minds of those who were there. Hardback •
