Photo of some of the Cabins in the Caravan Park in Parkes where we stayed.
We stayed in one of these cabins years ago, it was freezing and have never stopped in a cabin since, always in a Motel/Hotel in our travels if we didn't take our caravan.
On top of a hill over looking the town is this War Memorial.
We drove around the streets so was able to take photos of some houses.
North West of Parkes NSW there is a little town called Trundle which is a cattle area, water was extremely short in the district and water was being carted by tankers to the area at a high cost.
