Mate, it's a homemade setup
canvas off of Ebay - offcut or end of a roll
Singer sewing machine off of Gumtree
poles and pegs from BCF
I have a piece of square Oregon that attaches to the roof racks with some marine type fittings called Sta puts screwed into it.
Eyelets in the canvas slip over the Sta puts and are locked on.
It's a pretty basic arrangement, but pretty flexible too.
I'm just in the process of making some walls now that will attach with Velcro.

Wow Johno, Great trip by the looks of it and nice weather. Some good pics there, reminds me of the trip Stef and i went on down there in the kombi ( must go again )
The setup in the back looks great and very practical.

Hey Rick,
had a great time,
the weather was good most of the time,
car went well,
could've spent a lot longer down there, must go again.

How's the ute coming along ?
Must catch up sometime.

cheers
John

Hey Johno
No work on ute for now, had broken leg for the past 6 weeks from mountain bike, Stef keeps telling me i should slow down on the bike ( yes she is right )
Yes it would be good to catch up sometime.
