The green & gold Eureka reinvents the equally awesome blue & white Eureka in Australia's contemporary sporting colours. This flag symbolises the 1854 Eureka Rebellion in Ballarat when gold miners protested against oppressive mining licenses and lack of political representation. The flag became a symbol of resistance and solidarity among the miners. The rebellion is seen as a pivotal moment in the fight for democratic rights and has since been embraced as an emblem of civil liberties, workers' rights, and Aussie pride.
