Ballarat In Victoria

Ballarat in Victoria where history was made
Where working men died for their rights at the Eureka Stockade
Though outnumbered by the forces of Britain's Empire's might
The miners of Ballarat put up a brave fight
The miners of Ballarat where the Australian Trade Union was born
On the side of the Crown Government they proved a huge thorn
True stories of their bravery we read of and hear
They were rather fearless in the gap of fear
Above Bakery Hill the flag of the Southern Cross wave
For to honor the memory of the long deceased brave
Though outnumbered and outgunned they refused to lay down
The legendary miners of Ballarat Town
The story of their fight for miners rights is known Worldwide
And to the people of Ballarat they remain as a source of pride.
