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).
