Located 350 kilometers west of Sydney, Parkes is famous for its iconic Parkes Observatory and the “Dish” – a large radio telescope operated by the CSIRO.

Due to its proximity to Dubbo (124 kilometers north) and Forbes (34 kilometers south), Parkes offers an affordable option for building a family home. The town features modern amenities, including the Parkes Aquatic Centre, Parkes Shire Library, and the 18-hole Parkes Golf Club.
