A couple of weeks ago Parkes, sleepy town of the Central West, NSW Australia buzzed with life (tripling in Elvis inhabitants for the 7 day event) and collective Elvii, well they were everywhere!! I was fortunate to be in the throng and meet Australias very own Indigenous Elvis. Once met not forgotten! A lovely man.

lol peach!…great stuff ..saw a wee mexican elvis once called el-ves!
Hya joak, this guy was so funny! There was a tent for the Elvii waiting for their turn on stage .. he said to me “if I go in there and don’t smile they won’t know I’m there!”, such a great character & sings a good un too :)
