The Night They Stormed Eureka

By Jackie French About

It’s 1854‚ and the Ballarat goldfields are a place of dreams and rebellion as Sam‚ a homeless teenager‚ is called back to the past to join the Puddlehams‚ who run ‘the best little cook shop on the diggings’.

The Puddlehams dream of buying a hotel with velvet seats‚ while others dream of freedom from the British crown‚ away from the rule of wealthy landowners and corrupt officials.

Once again Jackie French takes a fresh look at the history we thought we knew and recreates an event entrenched in our national heritage.
