Situated in New South Wales, the town of Parkes is a cosy yet happening place, sprinkled with tourist magnets everywhere.
The annual Parkes Elvis Festival attracts thousands of music lovers and is a must-see attraction if you find yourself here in January. Geek out at CSIRO - Parkes Observatory, which transmitted live images of the moon landing, and its adjacent discovery centre with interactive exhibits. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking in Goobang National Park or Memorial Hill Lookout. Lastly, if you’re a history buff, you can plan a short trip to Forbes town, featuring 19th-century buildings, paying homage to Parkes’ gold rush days.
And after a long day of exploring the unique attractions Parkes offers, why not retreat into a home away from home? Airbnbs offer space, privacy and the homey experience we love. So read on for the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Parkes, Australia!
