Top videos: Fanatics board the Elvis Express for Parkes’ zany annual festival

10 News First – Disclaimer

It’s a brand new year, and TND is back with our first top videos of 2023.

From Elvis fanatics joining forces at the annual Elvis Festival in Parkes, NSW, to shock appearances by seals and crocodiles at local beaches, we have so many moments to share.

Plus, don’t miss Hugh Jackman as he continues to fuel his endless feud with Ryan Reynolds, and the arrival of Melbourne Zoo’s third Asian Elephant calf.

If you have a video you’d like us to include next week, tag us on social media using the hashtag #TNDVoW.

All aboard the Elvis Express

Dozens of keen Elvis impersonators boarded a train en route for the 30th Parkes Elvis Festival.

The festival began back in 1993. Thirty years later, the festival attracts more than 24,000 visitors and brings in millions for the local economy.

According to the tourism minister, the Nationals’ Ben Franklin, the festival also sees the town’s population double.

In this video, watch Elvis mega fans board the Elvis Express ahead of the zany festival.
