Gold miners built the Eureka Stockade at the Ballarat goldfields in December 1854, but trouble between the miners and the authorities had started pretty much with the gold rush in 1851. Before we start looking at the Eureka uprising itself, Ep 29 will begin with some background to the story.
The discovery of gold and the chance to dig & make ones fortune, transformed the colonies. We'll look at gold discovery in Australia, the influence of the Californian gold rush, the Government’s response, and how the home-grown rush started in New South Wales, before the lucrative Victorian fields were discovered.

I am disappointed you recommended Australian True Crime as it is terrible. You obviously have not listened to it so should not recommend it. Lawry talks over the guests & cohosts, always talks about herself, knows everything (do not know why she doesn't just interview herself every episode) & can be very insensitive. Your listeners would be intelligent, i urge them to find real Aussie true crime podcasts of which some are fantastic but not this junk.
