	KNIBBS, THEORY OF CITY DESIGN
		In the competition begun in 1911 for the design of the new city a number of the contestants submitted plans with the majority of the streets angled at 45 degrees from the cardinal points of the compass.
		Therefore in a Capital city the aesthetic requirements are rightly regarded as of commanding importance, and utilitarian considerations as secondary, and properly subordinated to the last possible degree consistent with the fact that the general arrangements must of course be really practicable ones.
		If the city is to possess a military centre, ample provision must also be made to facilitate the mobilisation and despatch of troops, war material, etc. The lighter traffic of merely residential streets involves less attention to gradient, their character depending solely upon their intended surroundings.

	City Guide for Ballarat in Australia - The Eureka Stockade (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Protest meetings calling on diggers to refuse to pay drew huge crowds at Ballarat, Bendigo and Castlemaine; in response, in November 1853 the government made a small reduction in the fee.
		The administration at Ballarat was particularly repressive, and in November 1854 local diggers formed the Ballarat Reform League, demanding full civic rights and the abolition of the licence fee, and proclaiming that "the people are the only legitimate source of power".
		The diggers are held up as a classic example of the Australian (male) ethos of mateship and anti-authoritarianism, while the goldrush in general is credited with overthrowing the hierarchical colonial order, as servants rushed to make their fortune, leaving their masters and mistresses to fend for themselves.
