  • Every gold rush seems to begin with stories of people up nuggets by the handful.
    Hundreds of years after this happened in Western Australian desert the twin towns of Kalgoorlie and Boulder are still gold rush towns.
    Rainbow's End is a nostalgic journey with Jack Absalom in the richest square mile of real estate in the world. Jack traces the 'golden rainbow' that the early that early diggers followed on their quests for the lucky strike that would set them up for life. We meet up with some of the characters that inhabit the goldfields and hear of the great gold strikes and gold swindles.

      I like to think hes cruising around the outback in his Sigma still - visiting his favorite places in these shows...
      Then in the late afternoon relaxing beside his car somewhere next to a dry river bed painting away peacefully.

      Definitely one of the best presenters on Australian TV at the time. I really miss him, but luckily we have UA-cam to revisit old times!

    A great chap Jack Absalom , always looked forward to watching his adventures, and this one has my father in it at the Denver City Hotel in Coolgardie, up on the balcony.

    Jack always told a great story. I spent most of my primary school years in Perth, and the history of the Goldfields was a big past of our history classes, along with Dirk Hartog and other explorers of the West.

    Why would O'Connor commit suicide before his work was finished? That doesn't make sense to me.
