There was some discussion and options for swags in this thread. Might be helpful. viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35136&view=unread#unread
While many people prefer lighter weight gear (myself included), there is no wrong way to enjoy the bush. Take gear that maximizes your enjoyment.
All the best.

A great deal of comfort can be achieved quite easily for a 10th of the weight of your old 10kg swag.
What does a swag offer that other options don't?

Out of interest what sort of pack to you use and do you strap the swag to the outside?
