We've been given a leaflet by STA Travel, and their Mid-level policy (I
don't recall what it's called) seems pretty good - but at £275 is quite
pricey. However, as I'm going to be travelling with a laptop - and these
can
have a habit of going walkies - I want to be sure I'm covered for
replacement of it.

Who did you get your insurance with?

And if you made a claim, how much of a pain where they?

Poms and Aussies have reciprocal arrangements. Give it a miss. Insurers
bet than nothing bad is going to happen - you bet it will.

Disagree. It's much more the the reciprocal medical agreements cover. Think
lost and stolen luggage, cancellation fees for accomodation or flights,
ambulance/air ambulance, repatriation, and the OP mentions a laptop...
