During the Eureka period in Australia, miners experienced harsh and often oppressive treatment from the colonial government. They faced high licensing fees, strict regulations, and frequent inspections, which led to tensions and frustrations. The miners were often subject to violence and discrimination, prompting them to organize and eventually revolt, culminating in the Eureka Stockade in 1854. This uprising marked a significant moment in the fight for miners' rights and contributed to broader democratic reforms in Australia.
