'All Australians have heard of the Eureka Stockade or, at least, of the word 'Eureka'. Fly a Rebel Flag: The Eureka Stockade turns this part of Australian history into a living, exciting (but still true) story.

'People don't always like to be told what to do, especially when it's unfair. That's what happened when the gold miners in Victoria were forced to buy gold licences, even when they had no money. The miners ('diggers') challenged the police, and government representatives retaliated. This eventually resulted in a bloody battle that lasted only twenty minutes but was pivotal in the development of democracy in Australia.' (Publication summary)
