The arrival of the trains is highly anticipated by those already in Parkes and festivalgoers line the platforms singing and dancing as they wait for the trains to arrive to the Parkes Elvis Festival.

Give them a warm Parkes greeting and some local insider tips – where is the best coffee, the nicest morning walk or best view point?

What are your favourite venues, shaded rest stops and watering holes?
