When a band of miners, of several nationalities, revolted against official oppression in 1854, it gave birth to radical, democratic tradition in Australian politics. The Eureka Stockade rebellion was led by Peter Lalor, an Irishman who later became a prominent politician. The Governor, Sir Charles Hotham, was criticized for the official response. The Stockade is a significant site in Australian history.

So many people of Ballarat gave their life during the wars of Korea, Borneo, Malaya and Vietnam. They deserved this monument. The monument is well put together. There is a wall with the countries: Korea, Borneo, Malaya and Vietnam On the very top it says: “Lest we forget.” The cross intersects the wall. Worthwhile to see!
