The Ballarat East Tqwn Council appears to be determined not to let the Eureka Stockade lie in oblivion any longer, or fade away from the history of Ballarat for want of some landmark to show the site of the memorable engagement which took place now nearly 23 years ago. At a recent meeting Councillor Long moved on notice, —“ That in the opinion of this Council 'the spot where the Eureka Stockade once stood, and where so many brave men fell on the memorable 3rd of Decamber, 185-1, should be enclosed, as soon as possible, with a substantial fence, and a suitable monument erected to the memory of those who lost their lives in resisting the unconstitutional proceedings of the Victorian Government on that occasion.” The motion was carried. 1
