The Eureka Australia Democracy Walking App
Walk the Eureka Rebellion - in Melbourne!
This walking tour of the Melbourne CBD shows the long-term impact of the Eureka Rebellion on democratic development in Victoria and the Australian nation. It will take you through the city, show you places of significance and identify individuals critical to the unfolding story of political reform in the aftermath of the struggle at Ballarat.
The story begins at the Old Melbourne Gaol, where prisoners taken at Eureka were held for trial; you will visit the site of public meetings where the fate of the prisoners was passionately debated; and learn of the impact of Eureka on the development of true representative government that we enjoy today.
