York: Parkes - YPKS -> East
Built around the goldfield discovered in 1862, Parkes grew into a regional centre for the Central West of New South Wales. The town stands on the broad farming plains around Goobang Creek, a landscape of grain fields, grazing country and low ridges. Parkes Airport lies east of the urban area and forms part of the district’s transport links. The area is internationally associated with CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, a 64-metre instrument opened in 1961. Often called “the Dish”, it helped relay television from the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969 and remains a working scientific facility. Parkes also preserves its gold-rush origins in its civic identity while serving surrounding rural communities.

York occupies a bend of the Avon River in Western Australia’s Avon Valley. Founded in 1831, it is recognised as the state’s first inland town, established as the Swan River Colony expanded eastward from Perth. Its historic core is defined by 19th- and early-20th-century civic and commercial buildings along Avon Terrace, with stone and brick façades reflecting York’s long role as a service centre for surrounding farming districts. The Avon flows northwest towards Northam, linking the town to the wider river country of the Wheatbelt. Spring also brings seasonal wildflowers to parts of the surrounding region.

Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian continent, stretching from the Indian Ocean coast to the dry heart of the outback. Its remote interior is defined by sandy plains, low dunes and spinifex grasslands, with immense distances between settlements. This is part of a wider network of Aboriginal Country: Indigenous peoples have maintained profound cultural connections to these lands for tens of thousands of years. Far from Perth and the coastal cities, the region reflects the scale and solitude of inland Australia, where travel demands preparation, respect for local access conditions and an awareness of seasonal heat.

Australia’s terrain extends from tropical rainforests in the northeast to arid plains in the interior, producing dramatic climatic contrasts. The Great Dividing Range follows much of the eastern coast, while the Great Barrier Reef lies off Queensland in the Coral Sea and Uluru rises from the central desert. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples maintain living cultures whose connections to Country long predate European settlement. In Sydney, the sail-like Opera House, completed in 1973, stands beside one of the world’s best-known harbours. Discover further points of interest through webcams located across Australia.
