youtu.be/7CspafvAui4 As far as we in Australia know Lola Montez came to ballarat during the gold rushes but it seem the rest for the world knows about her . Described as the Marilyn Monroe of the nineteenth century . They say it is surprising that nobody has made a movie about her. We know here well for the horse whipping that she publically gave an editor of a local paper in Ballarat for writing bad press about her. Incidentally there is a Ballarat in California , a ghost town with only one resident living there. it is the only town in the US to be named after a native Australian word. over here Ballarat is still a city in Victoria one of our states.
