[outbackowner]

In the UK and will check out the results in the morning local time.

 

[OATEK]

Spending the day in Paris, and then catching the City Nightline sleeper train to Berlin that evening.

 

[turtlemichael]

Paris and for the month before.

 

[THE TRIMMER]

On the way home from RTW j in Hong kong for a day last minute shopping.

...not at a polling booth

 

[ShaneN]

Westport, County Mayo, Ireland

 

[Astroboi82]

As far away from it all as possible !

 

[EvanC]

New York City.

It'll be my first election overseas - kinda looking forward to voting at the consulate in the days prior - just for something different!

 

[JohnK]

Is it that time again?

I could be in Brisbane that weekend so will need an absentee vote. Hoping to avoid all newspaper, internet and TV campaigns in the lead up.

It would much simpler and less costly if they did away with elections and let both sides have turns of governing every 4 years. Can't be any worse than what we have now....

I really like this idea John!!

Turfing this incompetent rabble out and sending them down to centrelink !!

I'll be at home, hosting one of my now famous election night parties.
On arrival everyone draws two or three pieces of paper from a hat.
Written on each piece of paper is a typical election night phrase
"people have spoken"
"victory for common sense"
"too close to call" etc etc......
Then we switch on Anthony Greene on the ABC and wait until someone's phrase is mentioned. Naturally if yours comes up, you have to skull your drink.
In past years "tally room" and "after preferences" resulted in some serious inebriation but this year I really, really pity the poor b@$t@rd who draws "landslide"!
Methinks they'll be unconscious by about 9.30 AEST!!

Any suggestions for other killer phrases will be gratefully received.

I might be O/S for a wedding. I might just go just to avoid this endless election campaign.

Wherever I am I'll be glad I'm a silent voter, and no longer need to "run the gauntlet" at the local school, people trying to stuff pamphlets under my nose etc - will miss the sausage sizzle but there's always bunnings.

So the one who draws "too close to call" will be the designated driver?

It was all KRudd fault.

As a Bennelong voter, my goal will be to track down John Alexander. I've never even seen the guy ...he spams my letterbox from time-to-time with tidings of his supposed glories, but yet seems to be an elusive chap not given to walking the streets of my fine suburb. One wonders if he actually even lives in the electorate! So my election day will start at sparrows, voting early and often ...all the while on the hunt for John. ...I'd like to provide him with a fairly pointed assessment of his 'representation'.

Nowhere near a polling booth. . . . . .

I've always thought that the sausages that the primary school serves up on election day are just that bit more special than the ones they offer at Bunnings. I'll certainly miss them this election - they're probably the only thing I really look forward to about the day.

Moscow, or thereabouts.
