"Eureka" has long been associated with gold. Derived from a Greek word meaning "I have found it", it was made famous when uttered by Archimedes when he discovered a means of measuring the density and thus the purity of gold.
In more recent times it has become the exclamation of prospectors lucky enough to strike it rich.
The word became an indelible part of the history of Australian democracy when gold miners revolted against petty officialdom at the Eureka Stockade in the Victorian goldfields in 1854.
In our Eureka, we think we have found it, the perfect mountain home away from home. We hope you find the home that way as well.
We welcome your comments.
