When it came to the Eureka Stockade, the Australian gold miners elected Peter Lalor as their leader.
Peter Lalor was not leader of the Ballarat gold rush. The gold diggers who were unhappy with the gold licencing system and unfair licence checks elected Lalor to be leader of the rebellion which came to be known as the Eureka Stockade.
Peter Lalor, leader of the Eureka Stockade rebellion in 1854, is buried in Melbourne General Cemetery, Victoria, Australia. For photos of his grave, see link below.
Peter Lalor was an Irish immigrant, born on 5 February 1827, who initially worked on the construction of the Melbourne - Geelong railway line, but soon joined the gold rush and began mining in the Ovens Valley, and then in Ballarat. Due to the deplorable conditions on the goldfields, and the lack of miners' rights and representation in government, Lalor was unofficially "elected" on 30 November 1854 to be a more militant leader and voice for the diggers. Lalor led the rebellion that later became known as the Eureka Stockade, and the birthplace of Australian democracy.
Peter Lalor was a passionate speaker, who motivated the miners with rhetoric and convincing them to stand up for their rights. He was willing to stand with the miners against the soldiers, and remained in the heart of the battle, ultimately losing one of his arms as a result of wounds. He rallied the women to create a flag worthy to symbolise the miners' rights, now known as the Eureka flag. At the time, the Eureka rebellion was considered a failure because of the bloodshed and the deaths of over 20 miners. However, in the long run, Lalor's motivation brought a number of changes to the goldfields:Lalor became a representative of the miners in the government. His work there allowed miners to earn the right to voteThe monthly licence fee was abolished, and replaced with a much more affordable yearly Miners' Right.
