Yes parkes has its upside like the Elvis festival, dish, utes in the paddocks, close to the lovely lake at Forbes etc. But to be honest its a smaller industrial town, with the unemployed still very prominent while there is a presence of working class...I still can not get over the fact you can not go down the street with out hearing some person using obscenities in there general conversation. The rentals and some house prices for sale are well over priced and living off the miners boom, you can get the same price if not cheaper in Nelsons bay-lemon tree passage for example....Sorry Parkes but your not looking after your bread and butter, unless your in mining or well paid jobs, id advise to live in Forbes-gee its only 20 mins away.
