[QUOTE="just starting, post: 548654, member: 14279"] Gets complicated ,but it`all to do with the miners being hassled by police and the authorities over licences and land claims and there was a lot of tension in Ballarat at that time. The Bentley`s hotel got burnt down as few weeks before that in protest over the acquittal of the publican over the alleged murder of James Scobie . There were about 10,000 miners there. If you ever get the chance , drop into the Eureka Centre in Ballarat if you are down that way. [/QUOTE]
