The Ballaarat Reform League and the Eureka Flag

The Southern Cross, now more commonly known as the Eureka Flag, was first flown at a second Monster meeting of 10,000 to 12,000 men held on 29th November 1854 at Bakery Hill to hear the results of the deputation to Governor Hotham. The anger of the meeting when they heard of Governor Hotham's dismissal of the Charter led to a call to burn their licences.
