As a bellwether seat, Eden-Monaro is certainly an interesting place to be in the lead up to an election.

During the eight week campaign there has been a constant train of ministers visiting the region and announcing one election promise after another.
But the question on everyone's lips is who will win the seat?
The demographics of Eden-Monaro have changed slightly due to boundary line adjustments after the 2013 election.
So will the bellwether stand?
Political analyst at the Crawford School of Public Policy at the ANU and Queanbeyan resident for 25 years, Dr Norman Abjorensen had several things to say.
"Dr Hendy, who's held the seat since 2013, has had a little bit of luck come his way with the electorate redistribution because he might well be in a bit of trouble on the old boundaries."
"What's happened in the redistribution, is that Eden-Monaro has lost a lot of areas around Bateman's Bay.
"And those areas that Eden-Monaro has lost generally vote fifty-fifty, half Labor, half Liberal with not a lot of variation, but they've been replaced by areas to the north and south of Canberra.
"So we've taken in Tumut and parts of Yass, and that's a very strong coalition voting area there.
"What we see now is, Peter Hendy was sitting on 0.6 of a percent margin from the voting patterns of the last election, but that's now about 2.9 percent.
"So he's got a little bit of a safety margin that he didn't have before.
"What that means for the coalition is that on the old boundaries, the Eden-Monaro would have been the equal third most marginal seat, so if there was a swing against them, it would have been one of the first seats to fall.
"But there are now seven more marginal seats than Eden-Monaro, so if the dominos start falling, six seats have to fall before Peter starts to feel hot breath down the back of his neck.
"Now the question everyone wants to ask is, is it still the bellwether?
"It's conceivable this time around, that in a swing that's enough to get rid of Peter Hendy and not enough to get rid of the government, he could lose the seat and the government would remain the same," Dr Abjorensen concluded.
Eden-Monaro has been a bellwether since 1972, but Saturday will determine whether this will continue.
Pre-polling proves popular
People opted to jump election day queues with close to 4000 Queanbeyan residents that had already voted as of Sunday June 26.
The town made up the bulk of Eden-Monaro's pre-poll voters with 5795 early voters across the electorate.
Compared to 2013 numbers, there was almost a 30% spike in pre-poll voting this year.
On the equivalent date in 2013, 3056 Queanbeyan residents had already voted and 4770 across Eden-Monaro.
Although an AEC spokeswoman pointed out that the boundaries for this seat have changed significantly since the last election and the booths for early voting are different this year.
Queanbeyan's spike follows similar patterns across Australia, with over 1 million people voting early.
Nationally there was a jump of close to 50 percent compared to 2013.
Those getting caught at the polls on election day can at least hope for a free sausage sizzle at the end of the hustle and bustle.
