Suburb profile
Tichborne is a welcoming smaller community in Parkes, with a settled community character. Distance from the capital is noticeable, but the trade-off is space, calm and a community that knows its neighbours. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with family life visible on every street.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Strong public transport connections keep the wider area accessible.
Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
