Shady park surrounds the centre for lunch outdoors. Park also includes outdoor Eureka swimming pool. There is a contemplative space holding a small piece of the sacred flag where teachers and students can reflect on the significance of Eureka. Like the original on show at the Ballarat Fine Art Gallery, a sense of the flag's past is palpable, its war wounds clearly visible. Eureka Stockade Trail Eureka - Facts and Artefacts is an activity trail for those who want to structure the visit.
Masters are now available for photocopying in primary and junior secondary format.
The trail asks students to observe, investigate, identify and explain. By using the exhibition, students will be able to answer questions in the form of puzzles, timelines, illustrations, find a word or cloze passages. This programme encourages students to explore archaeological work and its link to social history. It asks them to observe, identify and explain, to interpret and hypothesise. It alerts them to the importance of heritage and the preservation of sites and relics.
