Now I know the only Aussie History most of you know are the legendary tales of Ned Kelly, Crocadile Dundee, and Steve Irwin. The background of our story is more obscure,dealing with our 1850's Gold Rush, and the Eureka Stockade. This is the only bit of Australian History that wakes our school kids up, until the Boer War! A Miners revolt could have led to civil war, if most of them hadn't been distracted, and left the Stockade just before the British attacked.Of the many attempts to explain this, mine is not the least plausible.
