Parkes is a town in New South Wales, which is surrounded by beautiful farmland. If you are interested in car hire in the city, then the Parkes Observatory is close by, Parkes has played an important part in the exploration of space, thousands of scientists go there to look at the stars every year - so don't miss out on this attraction. By hiring a car in the city you can also head out into the wonderful Goobang National Park. Parkes gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter - do your research so you know what weather to expect.
Parkes in New South Wales is the location of the CSIRO Telescope, which was the inspiration behind the film The Dish, and has had a lot to do with NASA missions and getting astronauts back to safety. It's only a short drive from the town for those hiring a car in Parkes, and the chance to see space 'close up', is not to one to be missed. We recommend renting a car in Parkes to go to nearby Peak Hill which has a mine which you can go and see during holidays, so check for dates. The War Memorial Lookout has lovely views of the town.
