Tent: TarpTent Scarp 2. It will replace our old OzTrail Outer Limit of some sort that was recently stolen right under my nose I've only pitched it in the lounge room so far but it looks great and feels very roomy! I think I'll sleep in it tonight
Pack: GoLite Quest. My old Haglöfs Sho Sho was just too miserable after 20+ years of being bashed, dragged and generally abused on various backpacking trips around the world. It was a bit too heavy for bushwalking but what a great bag it has been. Very happy with my new pack! I was a bit worried about buying without trying but it fits perfectly.
Bag: well it's a quilt really...Katabatic Alsek. Can't stand a straightjacket bag. Have a couple of MD and Katmandu synthetic bags but they are way too bulky and heavy. I LOVE my new quilt. Super light (560g), fantastic workmanship and perfect in every way. Hopefully it will be warm enough too (rated -5). Mr Stibb got a large (6'6) WM ultralight which is too narrow for me I'm glad I went the quilt way.
Pad: POE Ether Elite 3/4 + small bit of CCF. Got it cheap here and is just temporary as an XTherm is on the list for later. It's OK for me but a bit too narrow for Mr Not-so-slim-anymore. Much comfier than CCF though
Can't wait to get out and try it all. Only a few more weeks to go...

Bag: Roman oldie - 1.4kg
Pad: Roman Moon Mat 0.5kg
Total: 6.6kg
Hoping to change shelter to a Tarptent Moment (~1.0kg), pack to a Black Wolf B-Lite (0.8kg) and bag to a WM Summerlite (0.565kg) which should bring me down to under 3.0kg total.
