The town of Ballarat is mentioned in a book titled "deep enough" by Frank A.Crampton. the book is available online from amazon.com, and tho the referance to Ballarat in brief (page 249) the book is a great read by a very good author who lived & worked in the mines & ghost towns of the west.I have visited some of the sites covered in the book here in arizona (i live in wickenburg)& can attest to Cramptons knowledge & memory of time, place & memory of these historical sites.
