JFK, Commanding Officer, USN Patrol Boat 109. Based our side of the creek WW2. Ran down, cut in half and sunk by Jap Destroyer in the New Guinea area. Spent 18 1\2 hours with his trouser belt around a crewman's chest, belt held between his teeth. JFK, towed that man to safety and never lost a single man of his crew.
JFK was a man. Movie made, William Holden? played JFK, PT109. Actually quite a good movie.
The Eureka Stockade was a miners strike and rebellion, over mining rights and permits.
Ballarat, Victoria. 1854 Aussie Gold Rush.

Not a very pleasant part of our history. Full cavalry charges by mounted police against unarmed miners who had blockaded themselves in protest, at the governments intolerance and extortive permit system for gold mining. Lots of men killed for no damned result or reason.
