Now, here is the main story.
Two men were enjoying reunion over some drinks one night, one was Scotty. Then they had decided to go to the Eureka Hotel to get a drink. But when they got there the owner, Ben, was sleeping and did not like the disturbance. When he finally let them inside, Scotty got hit in the head with a shovel. Everyone was very angry with this as they all knew a loved Scotty. So one night they burned the Hotel down, but Ben had already run away. Now, the people found the gold-licences over-priced. So, one man put a sign up saying:
MEETING ON BAKERS HILL
There they burned there licences and erected the Southern cross flag.
Now, Governor Hotham was angry. So he started the Eureka Battle.
