A while back I watched a little doco on the town of Parkes in New South Wales, and it’s annual Elvis festival. Now the Doco was a pretty mediocre thing, but I rather liked the festival notion, and given that I’ve wanted to go to Parkes for a while anyway (its home of one of Australia’s largest radio telescopes, made famous by the movie “The Dish”) I though that a road trip to see both things might have to be on the cards at some point.
Anyway. The festival is on again and if you believe the locals, Elvis lives in Parkes.
(And a little note to any members of the Bells who are reading this, I reckon we should do this as a Bells Camp in a year or two…)
