Description

Heading out bush to go gold prospecting or exploring the fascinating historical features of the Goldfields? Add this enamel camping mug to your kit!

Featuring a historical image of the “Monster Meeting” site at Forest Creek.

In this area on the Forest Creek gold diggings in 1851, several thousand diggers met in protest, angered by an unfair mining licence fee imposed by the Government.

Continued objections in regards to licencing on the goldfields led to the 1853 Red Ribbon Rebellion in Bendigo, and ultimately to the 1854 Eureka Stockade in Ballarat.

Drawn by David Tulloch, engraved by Thomas Ham.
