I've been speaking about Eureka with my dad this week. It's always been part of our family myth because the first of our clan to arrive on these shores was there. As a History teacher I think it is a much greater national myth than either Gallipoli or Kokoda. It stands for something, as opposed to being in opposition to something and it was our fight, not someone else's.
