If you want simplicity and durability with just a little luxury thrown in – the Simpson XL Swag from Burke & Wills is your ticket to a luxurious night out under the stars.The rot and waterproof canvas is constructed to withstand whatever the elements throw at you - which let’s face it can be a lot.
All you need is your favourite sleeping bag, as the Simpson comes with an updated 75mm foam mattress which will give you support for a comfy night's sleep. You can leave the canvas top open and keep the insects out thanks to the full sandfly mesh, or you can zip everything up and have full rain protection in adverse weather. This swag features updated black aluminium cross section head and dome foot poles which give that extra structure inside your shelter.
You don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night with your torch or phone digging into your side, which is why Burke & Wills have cleverly added a storage pouch to their Simpson XL at the head of the swag. You can also stash your dirty boots out of your clean swag in the side PVC boot bag.
With the Simpson, you can hop in the back of your 4x4, and head out into the wilderness knowing you’ve got solid shelter to protect you from the harsh Australian outback.

G’day Snowys Just wondering what stretcher would best fit the Burke and wills XL swag? I was thinking the darche 100 or the RS1. I was looking for a tiny bit of overhang so the poles don’t dig into the canvas of the stretcher. Thanks
G'day Graham,
Yes, both the Darche XL100, and Oztent RS-1 would be suitable matches for the Simpson X Large Swag. As you've already noted, the swag will hang over the edges a little, but if you're wanting to avoid stretcher damage then this would be a good option. These two stretchers are our widest XL width options, so either option should suit your needs.
Does this tent have a canvas floor i can't really tell and if it does would it leak in rain or get damp
G'day Ash,
The Burke & Wills Simpson X Large Swag comes with a 16Oz (540gsm) Ripstop Stormguard™ Canvas floor. If you're in rainy conditions over time, the base of this swag will become damp but you can help prevent this by laying your swag on top of tarp such as the 8x8 ft OZtrail Ultramesh Tarp- You may just want to fold it in half.
