Ballarat: Solidarity and justice continues to resonate at Eureka Dawn vigil and march

Submitted by takver on Thu, 06/12/2012 - 2:08am

The Eureka Oath from 1854 continues to be a powerful statement of solidarity and justice, "We swear by the southern cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our rights and liberties."
