'In 1854, a group of gold miners, led by Peter Lalor, built a wooden fort and took up guns against government troops. They believed they were fighting for justice and the right to vote, but the government saw the miners as troublemakers and rebels. The miners lost the battle, but eventually won the fight. The Eureka Stockade started a democratic movement that resulted in voting rights for all Australians.' (Publication summary)
