Unity in Defiance.
The flag of the Eureka Stockade uprising of 1854. The legendry uprising played out on the goldfields in Victoria.
The flag is believed to be designed by a Canadian miner.
It is adopted by anti-authoritarian groups and others. Bikies have been known to use it.
We have never seen a political coup or revolution or civil war around here although the Whitlam government was dismissed on a November 11 and we almost have a 'dictatorship'.
The worst warfare occured/s against the Aborigines.

Interesting information and good blog post.
Julia,
Great photo blog ... I was just perusing ... saw your comment about Whitlam ... yes, some of us are still angry about that !
In the UK, the last time somebody tried to dismiss a Government that still had the confidence of the Parliament (which was the position here with the Whitlam Govt), he lost his head ... and he was the King !
