Reflections of a moon and star struck town

The Dish - and moon landing memories

One dish I wouldn't want to wash

Standing in front of it makes you feel in touch with the cosmos

The Dish from afar like a rising moon

Parkes NSW is quite a star and moonstruck country town.

The pivital role of The Dish in the moon landing is celebrated everywhere (there's even a motel down the road called 'Moonraker Motel') and there is a
a star-struck devotion to Elvis in signage everywhere, including a building called 'Gracelands'.

Gracelands - in Elvis-struck Parkes

Something a bit bizarre and X-Files about it all. Perhaps that's why Roy enjoyed it so much.

Lake Lyall, near Lithgow NSW

Roy contemplating new ideas after publishing yet another novel - Kindle and paperback (Amazon)

Lakeside camp
Lake Lyall, NSW, just outside of Lithgow.

It's actually the closest dog-friendly park to our old haunts in Leura and Katoomba.

Next stop, the Dish, Parkes, hoping to coincide with man's first contact with ETs 

If we'd gone last weekend we might have experienced mysterious, multiple sighting of Elvis at the Elvis festival!
