| has gloss | eng: In Australian historical terms, a swag is a waterproof bedroll. In modern times, relatively fancy swags have been developed that make swags into a portable shelter. In the 1800s and first half of the 20th century a swagman was an itinerant rural worker - usually but not always sheep shearers - who carried their bedroll swag' with their belongings wrapped in them on their back. Most modern swags however are only used for bedding, but they are typically made with a waterproof outer section - traditionally canvas but more recent swags use more modern materials. |
