In the late 1800s and early 1900s, a bedroll was commonly known as a "swag". A swag was carried around by swagmen, itinerant men who wandered from homestead to homestead, often looking for food, work or both. Shearers and stockmen carried swags.

The term is not used in modern times, although camping stores might advertise "swag bags" and similar products, capitalising on Australian folklore.
