The beginnings of democracy in Australia.

On 3 December 1854, well-armed British soldiers and police stormed a crude wooden stockade that had been built by defiant miners fighting for their rights. The battle lasted just twenty minutes but it changed Australia forever. Some say the Eureka Stockade marks the birth of democracy in Australia.
