Our Story

Each product is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, designed to offer comfort and safety in the wilderness.
Our swags are not just camping equipment; they are your home away from home, your companion under the stars. Crafted to withstand the diverse and unpredictable conditions of the Australian outdoors, they represent a blend of traditional methods and modern innovation, ensuring unparalleled durability and functionality.
In the heart of Melbourne in 1975, a vision took shape - Burke & Wills, named after the iconic Australian explorers. Our journey is rooted in the rugged Australian landscape, driven by a commitment to durability, quality, and functionality.
We understand that for outdoor enthusiasts, the right gear is not just a matter of preference but a necessity. This understanding has driven us to create products that don’t just meet but exceed expectations. Whether you're braving the rugged bushlands or camping by serene lakes, our canvas swags and tents stand as your reliable partner, offering comfort and protection.
Our commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing practices ensures that we not only provide the best products but also contribute positively to our planet. Join us in this journey of adventure and experience the difference that comes with owning a Burke & Wills product. With us, you are not just buying a product; you are embracing a lifestyle of adventure and exploration.
Bringing Burke & Wills to the UK
The idea of introducing Burke & Wills to the UK began as a personal quest. My journey, which saw me travelling the world and experiencing different cultures, eventually led me to Australia, where I met my wife, Antje. Our shared passion for the outdoors took us on many adventures, but it was the Australian swag that left a lasting impression.
Returning to the UK, I found myself longing for the simplicity and comfort of a Burke & Wills swag. This desire became a mission when my own swag became the newfound love of my son. The challenge of acquiring another one in the UK set me on a path to become the official distributor for Burke & Wills.
Our mission is to share the essence of the Australian outdoor experience with the UK. We want to inspire British adventurers to embrace the wilderness with the same passion and preparedness that Burke & Wills swags offer. These swags are not just products; they are a gateway to adventures, offering unparalleled comfort and durability.
As the UK distributor, we are excited to offer a range of swags that cater to various needs and preferences. Whether you're an avid camper, a fishing enthusiast, or someone who enjoys casual outdoor getaways, our swags are designed to enhance your experience. With a Burke & Wills swag, you're not just prepared for the outdoors; you're equipped to make the most of every adventure.
Thanks for being a part of this journey.
