Wayne and his family have an amazing range of camping gear and can do large numbers for events. We order swags one hundred at a time and they are all beautifully made, any colour you choose. They always go out of their way to look after you! We are so lucky to have this awesome business right here in town. If you run bush camps or workshops they have everything there ready for you. Thank you Wayne! Sharijn from Waltja

Great service, great prices. Very helpful and willing to go the extra mile. The products are indestructible and I rescued one from the community dump and was able to resurrect it! We buy them for our art centre and I have my own too.

I bought an awesome red dust coloured swag here a few years ago. Sadly it was "lost" in the Top End from the roof rack...when I get to Alice again I will invest in another.

As usual my query was answered with a phone call within 24 hours due to the weekend. Fabulous service. Great prices. Always excellent products. My girls got their first swags for their 8th Birthdays from here. Now 10 years later only upgrading due to length. Still as good as ever.

Love my swag! I bought my Bike Swag from these guys about 15 years ago and it is still just as good as the day I got it! Probably better because the canvas is nice and soft now. Their handmade gear is tough, hardwearing and reliable with excellent zippers. The Bike Swag is super compact and fits perfectly inside a single mozzie dome if you are sleeping in the tropics.

Only a mug would buy a swag from anywhere else. I have been buying my swags from Centre Canvas for nearly 20 years and would never shop elsewhere, they are just that good! Wayne and family do the best work with the best materials to make a great Aussie swag. No silly domes or fly screens or ropes that you need a tree to tie it to, just a strong weather resistant swag that can be unrolled or rolled in seconds. Comfortable and practical and will stand the wear of time. I sleep in my swag for at least 5-8 months of the year and swear by it, It's my best friend when it is winter!!!! They even custom make them to your requirements. Buy one, buy one now! Support local business that's what makes the community great.

Purchased my swag off these guys around 10yrs ago and have been very happy with it. Good tough material top and bottom and has always held up well in plenty of bad weather. The workmanship that has gone into this product is well above the norm and this is truly a product that will last a lifetime. I have since gone back and purchased s second one for my son. It is important to support small businesses like these out in the bush. Keep up the good work guys.
