Parkes Shire Council

Famous quotes containing the words parkes and/or council:

    Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.
    —Henry Parkes (1815–1896)

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
