Car rental location Parkes Airport

Location information for Parkes Airport

Parkes is a small Lachlan catchment area in inland New South Wales. It is situated three miles from the nearest airport with car hire in Parkes Airport. In 2005, about 25,000 visitors boarded the Regional Express Airlines daily flights between this tiny Parkes Shire Council regional airport and Sydney.

Parkes Airport facilities

Although Parkes Airport is currently planning a major renovation, it already offers plenty of places to compare car hire and several wireless internet access points. General aviation services here include a refuelling agent, a pilot training school, aircraft maintenance service and a thriving aero club. Windsocks fly over both of the airport's runways.

Parkes Airport excursions

Folk history, antique machinery, Elvis Presley and motor museums are housed within the Henry Parkes Centre alongside the Parkes Visitor Information centre. This is where visitors can gather brochures and maps before exploring the surrounding Lachlan catchment region. One of Australia's most important wildlife sanctuaries is Nangar National Park, while Weddin Mountain National Park is encircled by spectacular cliffs.

Best time to visit

Parkes, like other Lachlan catchment communities, experiences slightly cold winters and very hot summers. Frosts cover the ground occasionally in winter, but are scarcer here than in nearby municipalities along higher altitudes. Temperatures are not unpleasantly cold or hot in spring, which begins in September and ends in November, or autumn, which lasts from March to May.

Car rental in Parkes Airport

The Newell Highway links Parkes with both Melbourne and Brisbane, which lie in opposite directions, while several other roads run east to west through the community. The nearest major city is Sydney, 227 miles east of Parkes. Driving conditions here are excellent, but drivers should be prepared to travel long distance to get between major cities.
