My thoughts exactly. When initially trying to figure out why I liked that photo, I decided it was the layers - in particular the variety of textures (& colours), and the way they stretch horizontally, and layer vertically.

He isn't the only one, as someone who has responded to this topic has noticed... :oops:

Yeah. Playing off 5 is something I got to do once, then after about 16 and 2 tinnies I got to play off 6. Then with 3 balls and 1 club in the lake and about a dozen, I had another tinnie and got to play off 7...
Not serious. Thought I would spell taht out instead of using emotion smilies in case Eggs and I aren't alone...

There are contents policies for your home that cover accidental damage to all of your goods anywhere in Australia and NZ. I have had one since 1988 on the basis that on any given trip, I am typically carrying $3-4000 of camping gear. If the pack falls off a cliff, it is all covered.

And also on insurance, make sure you use the cost of replacing the lost or damaged item with *brand new* items. Forget about how much it cost you 10 years ago - current replacement cost is what you insure for. (Speaking from experience of a major insurance claim three years ago where I ended up being underinsured by about 50%.)

My policy is with CGU. Camera gear generally does not have to be listed separately. And adding $40,000 to my sum insured only added about $200 to the premium.

Cheers

David
