In reply to: Owain (UK) 's message, "Which rebellion would that be?" on 19:02:26 12/03/04 Fri

It was a rebellion by miners in Australia in 1854 which replaced a corrupt colonial government with responsible government, similar to the 1837 rebellions in Canada which brought about the same thing. The idea of colonial self-government was promoted by these rebellions.
