Does anyone in Australia have a recommended/preferred insurer or method of insurance for their camera gear?
Shaun,
My household insurance - which is only available through brokers and is called "Gold Star" - is very good. A bit on the expensive side but very good. It covers my equipment in the house or anywhere in the country out of the house as long as it's not out of the house for more than 6 months. It covers it overseas for 3 months. New for old replacement and you don't have to specifically insure particular items (when I bought the *istD I talked to them about it and said it was not necessary to list it separately even with a value of AU$2500. The cover extends to all items, not just camera gear. I haven't checked about terrorism - our property insurance doesn't cover that, but I don't think any do at that moment.
