Hello Thank you for your inquiry about the Loud Fence display at the Eureka Centre. The Loud Fence movement is an important, recent protest movement that emerged in Ballarat and has spread throughout Australia. As an important local movement, the Eureka Centre references Loud Fence within the context of the history of protest associated with the City of Ballarat, notably through the events of the 1854 Eureka Stockade uprising. Here is some information that we have presented alongside the the Loud Fence display that you viewed during your visit to the Eureka Centre: "Loud Fence is a movement which started in Ballarat as a reaction to the Royal Commission into Institutional Abuse. It rapidly expanded to include all affected by sexual abuse, with people tying ribbons to the fence of many schools and churches to ‘make loud’ the message of solidarity and support for victims and survivors of sexual assault. The Loud Fence movement represents a community that stands for ‘no more silence’. The simple of act of tying a ribbon onto of public fence became a powerful link between the community and survivors with its message of hope and healing. The Ballarat Loud Fence Memorial was unveiled at the Eureka Centre on 15 February 2018, with members of the Ballarat community contributing ribbons and messages. The community of Ballarat is famous for activism; citizens standing up for their rights and demanding a fair go, a right to life, liberty and security of person. The Loud Fence movement shows how the values and spirit of Eureka live on in Ballarat’s citizens, who combine solidarity, courage and action to make changes for a better and fairer society. The representation of the Loud Fence movement in this museum that interprets the site and history the Eureka Stockade uprising of 1854, creates an opportunity to consider protest and collective action in Ballarat across two different cultural and historical contexts." Kind regards Anthony Camm Manager Eureka Centre
Just wondering if anyone knows why two of the most important & significant democratic "battles" in Australia's history have been completely ignored by this 'Museum'. Singularly one of the most important events EVER to occur in this country in the last 100 years - The History of the Franklin River Campaign 1976 - 1983 - was a Landmark in Australian Environmental and Constitutional History. It also led to the birth of the Australian Greens Political Party. Second but in no ways of less significance was the - The Daintree Blockade, Fight to Save Australia's Tropical Rainforests -Quote "The blockade set off a clash of ideologies: greenies against developers, hippies against the local council, and anarchists against police. In time, the Daintree blockade would help shape the growing Australian Environment Movement". I fail to understand the justification for what is in effect an entire decade, 1980's, of Australia's Democracy being ignored yet they have included references to a fight over the opening of a McDonalds store ? Thank you for your help

Thank you for your feedback Peter L, your time in posting your answer is appreciated. I have had initial feedback from the Museum & based upon that & the rhetoric seen in the Museum's feedback to many of the reviews to date, I considered that a simple call to the Museum would more than likely not suffice in this instance. No doubt they could answer any enquiry re: operating hours, prices and basic tourist focused matters that is current whereas the information I seek relates to what occurred at the time of the venue being refurbished and established. My thought on posting the enquiry via this forum was that I may be fortunate enough to make contact & hear from someone whom has the depth of knowledge as to the thought processes and deliberations that occurred at the outset - such as whom decided which events merited inclusion & what were the justification for leaving important events such as the 'Franklin & Daintree' out. Hope that clarifies matters. Have a great day!
