Physical description
The Victorian Land Convention, ''A Vote, A Farm, A Rifle'' 15th July - 6th August 1857 Direct Democracy In Action 1857 - 2007.
This booklet was published to mark the 150th anniversary of the Victorian Land Convention. The Land Convention, held in Melbourne in 1857 opposite Victoria's newly built Parliament House, was a far more revolutionary act than the 1854 Ballarat rebellion. The effects of the Land Convention influenced parliamentary debate for nearly two decades. It laid the groundwork for the rich radical traditions that Melbourne 150 years later, is still famous for.
