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.
