Bakery Hill, today an inner-city suburb a short walk east of the main downtown, was the open hillside on which roughly 10,000 gold miners gathered on 29 November 1854 to burn their licences and swear the Eureka Oath under a hastily-made flag. The site is unmarked except for a discreet plaque on the corner of Humffray and Eureka Streets and was built over in the late nineteenth century.
It is more meaningful than impressive — there is nothing to look at — but the topography still works. The walk from Bakery Hill east to the Eureka Stockade site is about twenty minutes; doing it in that order reproduces the geography of the rebellion.
