*Parkes

Parkes, 365km from Sydney and 306km from Canberra, was a goldmining settlement in Central NSW. It was renamed Parkes after Sir Henry Parkes, the 'Father of Federation' but Parkes is perhaps better known as home of 'The Dish' - the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope. 

The annual Parkes Elvis Festival is held in the second week in January and the Tullamore Irish Festival on Easter Weekend.
