Grandparents and interested older people were invited to Mitchell State School to see the children at work and at play. Times have changed. Education today is vastly improved to that dished up to us in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The children at Mitchell State School are well behaved and have a team of excellent teachers committed to giving each and every child a well-rounded education and a firm base of literacy skills.
A new moon stamps the western sky. Against the golden glow of sunset thousands of flying foxes flap and swoop as they make their way towards the flowering eucalypts and silky oaks around Mitchell. They are a welcome presence and remind me of the mutton birds that flock to the Bass Strait islands at sundown.
