Best Answer

The main blue part of the Eureka flag is made out of a woollen material commonly used for women's dresses in the 1850s. The stars are made of a fine, delicate (possibly silk) material, which appears to be the type of material used for ladies' petticoats.

Why is the Eureka Flag called the Eureka flag?

The Eureka Flag represents how the "downtrodden" in Australia could fight for their rights. It is the oldest flag in Australia, and symbolic in that it was designed by the people it represented, not some far-off government authority. The five stars on the Eureka flag represent the Southern Cross, which has always been symbolic for Australians, and the white cross joining the stars represents unity in defiance against unnecessary authority.


Who made the Eureka Flag and what was the design based on?

The design of the Eureka flag is based on the Southern Cross. While it is uncertain who designed it, its design has been credited to a Canadian by the name of 'Captain' Henry Charles Ross, who came to the diggings to seek his fortune. Ross originally came from Toronto, and the Eureka flag shows similarities to the flag of Quebec, with its white cross on a blue ensign (minus the stars of the Southern Cross, of course).


What was the Eureka flag used for?

to say that the Eureka Reform League was official. It was to fight against the government.
