Historically the traditional outdoor bedding in Australia was the
"Swag", a sausage shaped roll used by "Swagmen",
the equivalent to the Engish tramp and American Hobo. It consisted
of a canvas tent fly rolled with blankets and clothing and is possibly
the descendent of the cavalryman's saddlekit. Although heavier and
bulkier than a bivvy or a dome tent, they are simpler to use and more
durable, comfortable and convenient. Hence their traditional use in
Australia by stockmen and 4WD adventure tour operators, for camel
and horse treks, and by hunters and fishermen. The full Down Under Swag range is provided below:
