Beckett Park War Memorial

The Eureka Stockade Memorial Park in Ballarat, Victoria, Australia, is widely understood to mark the location where the Eureka Stockade rebellion took place on 3 December 1854. Commemorations at this site have a long history, with records of "Eureka Day" events dating back to 1855, shortly after the battle itself.

Visitors can explore the Eureka Stockade Monument and gardens, alongside an interpretative centre that sheds light on the events. While the precise extent and boundaries of the original stockade remain a subject of scholarly discussion, the park endures as a significant place of remembrance. The management committee overseeing the grounds has a history stretching back to 1922, reflecting a long-standing commitment to preserving this historic site.
