Eureka Flag - Symbol of Australian Democracy and Resistance #3576527 (License: Personal Use)

The Eureka Flag features a deep blue field with a white cross intersecting at the center, adorned with five white seven-pointed stars representing the Southern Cross constellation. Designed by Canadian miner Henry Ross and sewn by women from the diggings, it became the rallying symbol of the anti-authoritarian miners’ revolt at Ballarat. Though never officially adopted, it remains a powerful emblem of civil rights and grassroots democracy in Australian history.

This image is commonly used in educational, historical, and cultural contexts-such as museum exhibits, school curricula, and commemorative events (e.g., Eureka Day on December 3). It serves users seeking information about Australian colonial history, labor movements, or national symbols.
