In this book there is superb collection of eye-witness accounts, graphics, maps, paintings, posters and ephemera which explore the Eureka legend. From the first protest at the Great Meeting of Diggers near Castlemaine in 1851, to Bendigo Red Ribbon Rebellion in 1855 leading to the rising of the rebel flag of the Southern Cross, the stories of Eureka are all events that gave birth to the desire for true democracy for the infant Australian Nation.
