Operation Sunshine - Queensland is Open!

I admit - I have a soft spot for causes, and an even bigger one for those that use social media for social good.

After a fun night of cocktails at SXSW with my mate Stephen Johnson (@huxley on Twitter) at the SXSWi Mashable House VIP soiree, Stephen deftly recovered from jet lag by jumping headlong into a very cool initiative that I feel compelled to share. Seems Stephen and his mate are whizzing around Queensland listening to the amazing stories of triumph and fair dinkum-ness that only comes from surviving serious weather and sharing the stories to remind us that despite amazing hardships, Queensland is open for tourist and really needs our help.
