Synopsis "Shadows of Gold: Eureka and the Birth of Australian Democracy"
The Eureka Stockade laid the foundation for many aspects of the democratic system that Australia has today - freedom of speech, the right to vote, and political equality. Marji Hill, author of more than 70 publications, in Shadows of Gold, tells how: The discovery of gold in Victoria led to seeds of rebellion.The gold rush resulted in a population explosion and was to become Australia's greatest decade in people building with diverse communities and religions, different races, and different ideologies.The arrival of the British in Victoria had a catastrophic impact on First Nations people changing the lives of First Nations people forever.The gold miners with the discovery of gold in Victoria were politically powerless and stung by daily oppression.The stage was set for one of the most dramatic episodes of Australia's history. If you relish the uncovering of hidden stories, iconic episodes or truth-telling to do with Australia's past, then this beautifully illustrated book and the others in the series are for you.
