Eureka Flag (Small) 3'x2'

The Eureka Flag was flown by rebel miners at the battle of the Eureka Stockade, which took place on 3rd December 1854 at Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. An estimated crows of over 10,000 demonstrators swore allegiance to the flag as a symbol of defiance at Bakery Hill on 29th November 1854. Twenty-two miners were officially listed as killed at the Eureka Stockade, along with seven troopers and police. Around 120 miners were arrested and many others badly wounded. The event is considered by some to be "the birthplace of Australian democracy".

The Eureka Flag features a white cross with stars at each end on a blue background. The original flag was supposedly made from the woolen and cotton petticoats of the miners' wives and is still viewable today in Ballarat, although only two thirds of the original flag remain.
