The Eureka Flag was flown at the Battle of the Eureka Stockade, which took place on 3 December 1854 at Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. It was the culmination of the 1851–1854 Eureka Rebellion on the Victorian goldfields, where miners protested against the cost of mining permits and the officious way the colonial authorities enforced the system along with other grievances. An estimated crowd of over 10,000 demonstrators swore allegiance to the flag as a symbol of defiance at Bakery Hill on 29 November 1854. It was then flown over the Eureka Stockade during the battle which left an official total of 27 deaths. Around 120 miners were arrested, and many others were badly wounded.

  • The Eureka Flag was flown at the Battle of the Eureka Stockade, which took place on 3 December 1854 at Ballarat in Victoria, Australia. It was the culmination of the 1851–1854 Eureka Rebellion on the Victorian goldfields, where miners protested against the cost of mining permits and the officious way the colonial authorities enforced the system along with other grievances. An estimated crowd of over 10,000 demonstrators swore allegiance to the flag as a symbol of defiance at Bakery Hill on 29 November 1854. It was then flown over the Eureka Stockade during the battle which left an official total of 27 deaths. Around 120 miners were arrested, and many others were badly wounded. The field is Prussian blue, measuring 260 centimetres (100 in) x 400 centimetres (160 in) (2:3.08 ratio) and made from a fine woollen fabric. The horizontal arm of the cross is 37 centimetres (15 in) tall, and the vertical arm is 36 centimetres (14 in) wide. The central star is slightly larger (8.5%) than the others being about 65 centimetres (26 in), all from point to point and the other stars 60 centimetres (24 in). The white stars are made from a fine cotton lawn and the off-white cross from cotton twill. In addition to a modern, standardised version, there are also other Eureka Flag variants. The flag is listed as an object of significance on the Victorian Heritage Register and was designated as a Victorian icon by the National Trust of Australia in 2006. It is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Ballarat, which is responsible for its care and conservation. Since 2013 it has been on a long-term loan to the interpretative centre located at the Eureka Stockade Memorial Park, where it remains on public display. The disputed first report of the attack on the Eureka Stockade also refers to a Union Jack being flown during the battle that was captured, along with the Eureka Flag, by the foot police. (en)
  • Le drapeau d'Eureka a été le drapeau de combat utilisé à la palissade d'Eureka, une révolte de mineurs en 1854 à Ballarat, dans l'État de Victoria en Australie. Il est devenu, entre autres choses, un symbole de la protestation pour une grande variété de causes en Australie. (fr)
  • A Bandeira Eureka foi a bandeira de guerra usada na Eureka Stockade, uma revolta de mineiros em 1854 em Ballarat, Victoria (Austrália). Tornou-se desde então, entre outras coisas, um símbolo de protesto para um grande número de causas na Austrália. A bandeira está exposta na . De acordo com o livro Flag of Stars de Frank Cayley, as cinco estrelas da bandeira representam a Crux, e a cruz branca junta às estrelas, representa unidade e oposição. O professor Geoffrey Blainey, avançou com a ideia que a bandeira Eureka é uma cruz Irlandesa e não a Crux. O modelo da bandeira foi levado pelo Capitão Henry Ross, um dos mineiros de Eureka e expatriado Canadiano, a três mulheres, Anastasia Withers, Anne Duke e Elizabeth Hayes para que cosessem a bandeira a tempo de uma grande mobilização que iria acontecer em Baker Hill, às 14 horas do dia 29 de Novembro de 1854. Não há registo de quem de facto idealizou a bandeira, embora Ross fosse conhecido nas escavações como o 'noivo' da bandeira dos mineiros. A bandeira é similar à , a qual, segundo alguns historiadores serviu de base à Eureka. (pt)
  • The Eureka Flag – flaga prawdopodobnie zaprojektowana przez kanadyjskiego górnika złota, o pseudonimie „Porucznik Ross”, podczas tzw. buntu Eureka Rebellion w Ballarat (Wiktoria) w 1854 roku. Flaga po raz pierwszy została zaprezentowana w trakcie spotkania górników 29 listopada 1854 roku, która miała symbolizować sprzeciw wobec rządu wiktoriańskiego. W trakcie szturmu oddziałów kolonialnych i policji 3 grudnia 1854 roku, flaga została ściągnięta z masztu i rozdarta. Wydarzenia, które rozegrały się w trakcie buntu w Ballarat przyczyniły się do utożsamiania flagi z walką Australijczyków na rzecz demokracji oraz tożsamości narodowej. Oryginalna flaga, została odkryta na początku lat 60. XX wieku i przechowywana jest w . The Eureka Flag wykorzystywana jest współcześnie jako symbol buntu wobec władzy. Wykorzystywana jest przez związki zawodowe, jak i różne ugrupowania polityczne (zarówno skrajnej lewicy oraz prawicy). Na fladze umieszczono pięć białych gwiazd, które symbolizują Gwiazdozbiór Krzyża Południa. Gwiazdy połączone są za pomocą białego krzyża, który symbolizuje jedność w buncie. Gwiazdy i krzyż umieszczone są na ciemnoniebieskim tle, które symbolizuje niebieskie koszule noszone przez górników a nie niebo jak się powszechnie uważa. Prawidłowe proporcje flagi to 13:20. (pl)
