    Darche don't say made in Australia, only 'designed and tested' on the website, and some just say made from Australian canvas, so I am suspicious.

    I can't find a website for Centre Canvas, so it might be between Saul and Sar Major.

    Thanks for the responses everybody.

    Hey Jeff, here's their contact details. Give them a call, no website but they're the best IMHO. I've found them very helpful, I'm sure they'd email you pics and you can even order any colour/design you like.

    Centre Canvas
    Camping Equipment--Retail - Alice Springs, NT
    Swag Specialist & Camping Equipment
    9 Smith St, Alice Springs NT 0870
    08 8952 2453

    Saul are good too, but I like the design of CC better.

    Cheers,
    MrLandy

    I have a double classic swag from Mr Swagman.
    mrswagman.com.au
    Aust made, excellent quality, but not cheap.
    70mm egg crate style mattress is extremely comfy.

    Had mine since 2007.

    Give him a call, he was negotiable on price back then.

    I ended up buying a Burke and Wills swag, a local camping shop had them in stock and my daughter's birthday is fast approaching, the label says made in Australia, so maybe it is.

    this mob reckon they use aussie made canvas...



    Everything that goes into the making of these products is the best quality available, including the use of Australian made, heavy duty canvas which has all the desirable properties, waterproof, rot proof, shrink resistant and mildew proof. It is a cotton/polyester blend of canvas which is breathable yet very durable. - See more at: Murchison River Swags*|* Our Story
    look like a nice swag... not going that far to find out for sure though...
