Eureka Centre

The Eureka Centre is located in East Ballarat adjacent to what is considered to be the site of one of the most significant events in the evolution of Australian democracy—the Eureka Rebellion. As well as being one of Victoria's popular tourist destinations, the Centre provides a national focus for debate about, and interpretation of, the Eureka story. Opened in March 1998, the $4 million centre commemorates the passionately held ideals and the sacrifices of those who lived and worked on Ballarat's goldfields.
