All aboard the Elvis Express
Dozens of keen Elvis impersonators boarded a train en route for the 30th Parkes Elvis Festival.
The festival began back in 1993. Thirty years later, the festival attracts more than 24,000 visitors and brings in millions for the local economy.
According to the tourism minister, the Nationals’ Ben Franklin, the festival also sees the town’s population double.
