The Eureka Centre is a place to explore the social history and cultural impact of the Victorian gold rush and honour the stories of the men and women who risked their lives in the fight for miners' rights. It is home to one of Australia's most compelling historic artefacts – the Eureka Flag. The centre is located at the Eureka Stockade Memorial Park, considered to be the site of the 1854 Eureka Stockade where the rebellion took place.
