It was the last of the Memphis-born singer’s Australian shows for her Storm and Grace world tour promoting her album of the same name.
The only child of Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie wowed the audience of fans, aged from eight to seniors, who cheered and laughed at her jokes and banter between songs and her disbelief at the size of spiders and crocodiles in Australia.

Presley reclaims her roots on her latest album, Storm and Grace, released in Australia in 2012.
