She was very bad battered.

Many years ago I got caught in a severe hailstorm on a motorbike on the Calder freeway near Woodend. I stopped under an overpass only to notice that the direction I came (South) had the storm but the direction I was going (North) was clear so I got going again. Later that day I read a report when houses had roofs pierced by shards of ice. Scary,

Just as a footnote to that story, The woman has been nominated To receive bravery award for her act in trying to protect her baby,

I hope she gets it, she sure deserves one.

I am of the belief that this young lady has just been given a brand new vehicle. I hope so.

If so, then congratulations to the person/s who were so generous.

Good old Aussie spirit, helping others out in time of need.
