We've decided (tentatively) to ignore the Elvis Festival in Parkes that sends folks to find accommodations in Forbes and happens the second weekend of January. Therefore if you are thinking about coming to the Forbes Flatlands next January, you had better book now (no credit card or pre-payment required). I suggest January 1^st through the morning of the 12^th.

Already there are no "Villas" available at the Apex Caravan Park (although rooms are available). Check here instead: http://forbes.local-e.nsw.gov.au/about/1180/2683.html. For accommodations check here: http://forbes.local-e.nsw.gov.au/about/1180.html. The headquarters in the Vandenberg Hotel (Pub), which has rooms. Check here: http://forbes.local-e.nsw.gov.au/about/1180/2685.html.

Do it now. Seriously.
