Elvis Festival street parade

So we rushed (almost) directly from the World Record attempt to watch the street parade, which was mildly amusing, but difficult to photograph from our position directly opposite the media.

All the floats would turn away and mug for the Daily Telegraph, Sydney Morning Herald etc. while we true Elvis and Elvis impersonator fans were left staring at backs.

Who better to lead the parade than Dean Vegas, with not 1 but 2 Priscillas!

But wait! There’s more! After the parade there was judging back on the main stage for the look-alike contests. Of course I had to go and of course I had to take a million photos!

The junior Priscillas were gorgeous

And I love the queenly expression on the sunglassed Priscilla

While the senior Priscillas were a mixed bag

The junior Elvis contest was fierce 'cos they were all super cute

And were quite competitive with their posing

Senior Elvis was also a tight battle

'Cos even a bad Elvis is good

The crowd was as fascinating as the stage

Elvis said the only way to find his son was by going onto the main stage

Lovely Presley family group

Even I am starting to tire of all this Elvis action, but I still have to report on Silas and his spectacular “Elvis Forever Young” Show. Phew, later…
