2010 CountryLink Parkes Elvis Festival
8-11 January 2010The Elvis Express has left the building for another year, and we'd like to say "thankyou very much" to all those who shared this great regional event with us in 2010.
Sydney's Central Station came alive on 8 January with hundreds donning their favourite Elvis, Pricilla and Viva Las Vegas costumes to board the iconic train.
Singer Scott Crawford entertained the crowd with his tribute to the King before the Express departed for Parkes.
Held on the second weekend of January every year, the CountryLink Parkes Elvis festival is an event not to be missed, with street parades, free outdoor concerts and the Elvis gospel service.
The Elvis Express is one of CountryLink's most popular services, and seats sell out fast every year. To be among the first to find out when tickets for 2011 go on sale, e-mail us today.
