	Walkabout - Parkes
		Then governor of NSW, Henry Parkes, visited what had become one of NSW's most profitable goldfields in 1873 and, at the end of the year, Bushmans was renamed Parkes (in 1887 the main street became known as Clarinda St in honour of his wife).

		The Arboretum and Rotary Park are on the northern side of the approach to the hill.
