Synopsis
Why did British Army Red Coats fire on a group of miners hidden behind a crude wooden stockade in Eureka in 1854? Why did soldiers from two famous British regiments attack a group of gold miners? The central character, Bernie, lived with his parents on the goldfields and played a key role in events leading up to the battle at the Eureka Stockade, despite his age. He sees the murder of the miner that sparked armed protest. We see the growing unrest and the fighting through his eyes. People on both sides of the conflict believed that their actions were correct and justifiable. Readers will see actual letters from the governor, complaints from angry miners, as well as diaries and newspaper articles.
