It was first used in Ballarat, Victoria in 1854 by a group of miners who resented paying 30 shillings a month for a licence to search for gold. They burnt down the Eureka Hotel and set up a stockade in protest. At dawn on 2 December 1854, government troops attacked the stockade and in the short fight that followed thirty miners and six soldiers were killed. In 1855 the government abolished the licence fee and brought a \u2018miner\u2019s right\u2019 fee of one pound ($2) per year and gave miners the right to vote.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you are looking for where to Buy the Eureka Flag &#8211; 150 x 90 cm &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-flag-heavy-duty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you are looking for where to Buy the Eureka Flag &#8211; 180 x 90 cm &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you are looking for where to Buy the Eureka Flag &#8211; 243 x 152 cm &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-bunting-string-flags-30-flags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you are looking for where to Buy the Eureka String Bunting Flags &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-table-flag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">If you are looking for where to Buy the Eureka Table Flag &#8211; Click Here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/product\/eureka-flag-243-x-150cm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-27934 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54.jpg\" alt=\"Eureka Stockade Flag\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54.jpg 800w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/myflag.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/eureka-stockade-flag-54-555x278.jpg 555w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The incident is claimed to be the birth of Australian democracy.
