Ballarat and
the Rainbow Chasers
At the end of every rainbow is a pot of gold. Parked at the base of the Panamint
Mountains are the remains of Ballarat, California. Founded in 1876 as a supply
center for gold mines and prospectors, Ballarat lasted 21 years. After the post
office closed in 1970, Ballarat became home for two famous rainbow chasers: Shorty
Harris and Seldom Seen Slim. Learn more about these colorful prospectors, and
the ghost town of Ballarat in this video.
