The history of swags is deeply rooted in Australian culture, and started when early settlers had to be mobile to follow the supply of jobs around the country. This meant they had to be fast and light on their feet, to get to the next job.

The wondering and nomadic nature of the swagman has been sung about and referenced throughout Australian culture, with songs like “waltzing matilda” even being suggested as a replacement national anthem, as it refers to the simple and troublesome life that many wandering workers lived.

The Swag has changed a lot over the years and when looking at the choices available on the market today, they make the simple canvas tarpaulins, the early settlers lived out of seem extremely primitive.

Nowadays the offerings on the table from Adventure Kings boast a minimum 50mm thick open cell foam mattress, with 400gsm ripstop polycotton canvas, with sand fly proof mesh on all the windows and flaps to allow excellent breathability and a 500gsm PVC bucket base for absolute security in the heaviest storms.
