Homonym: swagman (Traveler)
A "swagman" is a term used in Australia to describe a traveling worker, often a laborer or itinerant, who carries their belongings in a swag, which is a rolled-up bedroll or blanket. Swagmen typically traveled on foot or by horse, seeking temporary work in rural areas, especially during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The image of the swagman is a significant part of Australian folklore and culture, often romanticized in songs and literature. One famous example is the song "Waltzing Matilda," which tells the story of a swagman and reflects the spirit of adventure and hardship faced by these wanderers.
