Information about Parkes
You will find much to enthrall you in the Parkes region; it is an ideal destination for an overnight stay or a weeklong visit. Parkes is a great place to stop and explore what the Central West of New South Wales has to offer.
No visit to Parkes would be complete without a visit to its “star” attraction, the CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope - star of the Australian hit movie “The Dish.”
The purpose of the mysterious looking dish can be described as ‘listening to the stars”. Astronomers, curious about the features and working of the universe have used the telescope for more than 40 years. Parkes Radio Telescope is one of Australia’s most prominent landmarks and part of our scientific and engineering heritage.
The Discovery Centre features attractive displays, interactive exhibits, audio visual shows, educational material and souvenirs. The Discovery centre opens daily from 8.30am-4.15pm except Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Admission to the Visitor Centre is free. Phone (02) 6861 1777 for further details. The newly opened Dish Café situated nearby the Telescope offers light meals through to hearty lunches

Craft Corner located in Dalton Street provides paintings, pottery, knitwear and jewellery produced by local craftspeople. Open Monday – Saturday (& Public Holiday) 10am –5pm.
Pioneer Park Antique Machinery Museum allows you to ‘step back in time’ and see agricultural machinery used in the early 1900s.
Bushmans Hill is the site of one of Parkes’ first Gold Mines, in operation over 100 years ago. Walk to the top of the hill, where you will pass some historical relics and a memorial to those few who have lost their lives to mining in the area.
