The QBE Insurance Group is Australia's largest general insurer and its growth, nationally and internationally since its small beginnings in 1886, is the story of an institution that has played an important part in our national commercial history. This history tells the story of its activities, from the early days in Queensland to its spread across Australia and to its initiatives overseas. It tells, too, the story of the men who were involved, of conflict and often of drama.
