A young mother who was pelted with large hailstones while shielding her baby during a Queensland thunderstorm last week will be nominated for a bravery award.
After large hailstones blew out her car windshield last week near Kingaroy, 23 year old mother Fiona Simpson used her body to cover her baby daughter.
The department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet issue these bravery awards in Australia, ranging from the highest honour of the Cross of Valour, to a commendation for Brave Conduct.
