Eureka Rebellion

Johnny B
Language: English




December 3rd 1854, the miners made their play
For injustice on the goldfields they had to make a change
They raised a flag into the wind and the southern cross was born
This Eureka Flag was to signify… the battle of their scorn.

They fought at the gates of hell as the troops marched on in.
Rebellion was their only hope gold licenses the blame.
To this day their point was made for the freedom of us all
Injustice and politics....democracy reformed.

Rebellion was their only hope gold licenses the blame
To this day their point was made for the freedom of us all
Their freedom rights were proven….. To this very day..

To this day their point was made for the freedom of us all
Their freedom rights were proven….. to this very day.
