AFTER THE BOOM1890s most goldfields are exhausted. The Eureka Stockade, an armed miners revolt over unfair policing and taxation without representation, makes an important contribution to the democratic development in Australia. The crash of 1891 brings the boom to an abrupt end with bank and business failures, and tens of thousands of workers out of work.
