Election morning in Mitchell

It seemed everyone was in the main street of Mitchell this morning, voting either Tony Abbott or Julia Gillard, and then shopping at the Saturday morning market and street sales at Samios and Poppy's -- followed by browsing in the Maranoa Gallery and library.
On the way home we called in to see a friend's recent purchase, a gyrocopter Rod plans to use for contract cattle mustering. Sandy's newly purchased house needed a quick visit too. Within minutes of arriving home, Tilly and Kel called in carrying armfuls of home-grown mandarins. The smell of citrus filled my nostrils as I accepted their gift, an aroma that transferred to the sun-filled living area. Such was election morning in Mitchell.
