In the Eureka Stockade, the actual clash between the troopers and the miners occurred on just one day. The leadup lasted longer, however. See the timeline below: On 29 November 1854, the miners burned their licences in a mass display of resistance against the laws which controlled the miners. On November 30, Irish immigrant Peter Lalor was elected to lead the rebellion after a huge licence hunt.
On December 1, the miners began to construct a wooden barricade, the Eureka Stockade, from which they planned to defend themselves against further licence arrests or other incursions by the authorities. It was completed by Saturday, 2 December. At about 3:00am on Sunday, 3 December 1854, 276 police and military personnel and several civilians stormed the stockade. The clash lasted until about 7am. "Officially", the battle was recorded as lasting 20 minutes.
