About this listen
A firsthand account of the 1854 Eureka Rebellion in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. Carboni, an Italian revolutionary and participant in the uprising, wrote the book to document the miners’ struggle against the colonial authorities. The story captures the miners’ frustrations over oppressive mining licenses, police corruption, and lack of representation. It details the events leading up to the violent clash at the Eureka Stockade, where miners built a makeshift fort and confronted government troops. Although the rebellion was crushed, it became a significant symbol of resistance and led to reforms in mining laws and democratic rights. Carboni’s narrative offers a passionate, personal perspective on the fight for justice and equality.
