The Elvis Festival at Parkes, held every January has been something I have always wanted to attend. I decided that 2017 was going to be the year, so I set to to organise that we could have a group of nine vans. So with sites organized for us to camp at the Showgrounds and tickets booked for the headline shows, we made it happen.
We spent the first night at the freecamp at Texas and then moved onto Bingara. Spent two nights there just relaxing by the river. It really is a great place.

We then moved on staying at Meendooran and then Terramungamine. Then on to Parkes where we set ourselves up in the Showgrounds.
They put a sticker on us and we enjoyed our week seeing the sights.
Of course you can!t go to Parkes and not visit the Dish.
Of course we were at the station when the Elvis Express came in from Sydney.
Even Elvis was driving the train
The shows put on by the special artists were wonderful.
The tribute show to Dig Richards was fantastic. Rob E G, Little Pattie and Lucky Star
Then of course there was the Street Parade. Never has Elvis come in so many shapes and sizes.
We left and travelled up the Newell stopping at the Golf Club at Bellata. Being Monday, their bar and bistro was not open for business but we did enjoy the beautiful view.
When we arrived home Koby was so pleased to see his mate.
It definitely was a great trip. So pleased I have now been. Something to do once in your life.
