Eureka moment in Toowoomba CBD - ABC Local

One day each year the Eureka flag is granted permission to fly next to the state and commonwealth flags in Toowoomba's CBD.

"Every year there are different issues that prompt people's interest in the story of the Eureka Stockade," says Neil Riethmuller from the Toowoomba Eureka Stockade Day committee. "People stood up to defend their rights and liberties."

Riethmuller said the special reason for celebration is the recovery of another piece of the original Eureka Flag made by Ballarat women in 1854.
