User Review - 8/10 by Peter MI saw Eureka Stockade with my Mother when it first came out but I cannot write full review because I had not developed an adult critical faculty at that time. I thought it was good though because, despite a lot of talking the fighting in the stockade was exciting and made you take the side of the gold miners. Chips Rafferty was in it and I liked him because I had already seen him in The Overlanders. I think both films must have been good 'adventure stories' because I remember bits of them now nearly seventy years later
User Review - 6/10 by Art SAnother slab of Australian history from director Harry Watt. This is the story of the organized and democratic resistance by Victoria's goldminers ("diggers" of course) against the heavy-handed tax collectors of the Queen led by Governor Hotham. Although there is initial danger of mob rule when the diggers react to the brutal killing of one of their own, Peter Lalor (played by Chips Rafferty) rises to the occasion to take over the leadership and quell the angry group. They build a stockade at Ballarat, design their own flag (the Southern Cross, of course), and prepare to defend their rights against tyranny. They want the right to vote and to represent themselves as part of the governing body of the colony (this is 1854, before Australian Federation (which did not happen until 1901). Unfortunately, the Governor attempted to stomp out the uprising by massacring the lot of 'em and very nearly wiped them out (including Lalor). But this action turned the public sympathy to the diggers and when survivors were brought to trial for sedition, they were found innocent. Lalor later became a member of parliament for Ballarat. The film itself is brisk, well-edited, a bit rangy but earnest and engaging. It might help you to pass the citizenship test!
User Review - 6/10 by Joel AThe classic Australian Story of the Eureka Stockade brought to the screen ironically by an English Director & Crew. I'm quite confident this film has quite a few embellishments here & there but it is interesting all the types of people from all over the world came in search for gold! Majority of the battle is between the men searching for gold and the authority of the time, Australia wasn't even a federation yet since the events in the film took place in the 1850's. It's a simple film that to be truthful a little dated but still accessible.
