Everytime we go visit Keith, Jane and Michael in Condobolin, we drive through the town of Parkes. We decided to stop off in Parkes and visit the museum to see what all they had.
Look who I met right there in Parkes, Australia
Elvis Presley is very much alive here at Parkes.
The second week in January of each year there is a huge Elvis festival.
The Parkes Elvis Festival is an annual event celebrating the music and the legend of Elvis Presley. The first festival in 1993 was simply a one night performance attracting 300 attendees. The Festival now lasts for 5 days and attracts large numbers that briefly double the population of Parkes.
Every where you look you see something about Elvis.
This Funeral Home in Forbes, 45 min S of Parkes, is designed after Elvis' Graceland Mansion.
Just outside of Parkes to the West, you see this "Elvis" (with saw in hand) as an advertisment of a Wood Cutting Business.
