Eureka Stockade is a 1984 Australian miniseries based on the battle of Eureka Stockade.[3] It reunited the producer, writer and star of A Town Like Alice.
The series was researched over two years and filmed over four months.[1] It was shot on location near Ballarat and Bendigo.[4] It was a difficult shoot as it took place during a heatwave. A $250,000 set of the British camp was almost destroyed during the Ash Wednesday bushfires.[1] A Eureka flag was stolen during filming.[5]
The series was a ratings disappointment compared to A Town Like Alice. However it sold widely overseas and screened in the US.[6] [7]
