SWAGS - WHAT THEY DO -
AND WE YOU GET THEM.


The Aussie Swag has been around a lot longer than most realise. Banjo Paterson's song 'Waltzing Matilda' written in the 1890's bears reference to a jolly swagman, which throws light on the fact that Swags originated with Australia’s pioneers. The Swag consisted of simply a piece of canvas or more commonly, oil skin cloth, in which was rolled personal effects, bedding and tied up with leather belts and a shoulder strap. For the past couple of decades the humble Swag has gone through some very radical changes. This simple form of sleeping in the Australian bush appeals to all walks of life, city folk and country folk. Getting Simoed in a swag is a challenge for all who own them.
