The Parkes Elvis Festival celebrated its 32nd year earlier this month! The theme for this year’s festival, held from January 8th to 12th, was Easy Come, Easy Go, the title of Elvis’s 1967 musical comedy film. Elvis starred as Ted Jackson, a deep-sea diving Naval Officer, who enlisted the help of a go-go dancing yoga instructor to recover a stash of Spanish gold aboard a sunken ship. The deep-sea diving and naval themes were incorporated into the Parkes Observatory float, which was part of the popular Saturday morning street parade. (Image credit: John Sarkissian)
