Parkes Phoenix

Our Gal – Amelia Tanswell – 2018 Parkes Showgirl

September 13, 2018 By Maggi Barnard

How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here?
Close to 23 years. I love being close to my friends and family.

Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? Byrne Clothing, working with the best people and listening to good tunes while we’re at it!

What do you do in your spare time and on weekends? Hang out with friends, you’ll mostly find us eating parmys, watching footy or dancing around while on local shopping adventures.

What are you really good at? Being late and playing pool.

If you could have a superpower what would it be? The ability to teleport.

What is your pet hate? When people use the wrong homophones and don’t use their blinkers.

Tell us about your best holiday. I spent seven weeks in America last year and had the absolute best time. It still wasn’t long enough! A couple of highlights were meeting some incredible friends on Contiki, hiking and camping through the most amazing national parks (especially the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone), skiing Whistler Mountain, having a hot chocolate at Central Perk, watching multiple Broadway musicals and absolutely everything about New York City!
