TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Orange brown sells them. I bought mine from there and it's holding up well. https://orangebrown.com.au/products/foam-mat

The benefit of buying from Clark Rubber is that you can get it cut to suit wide mats if you happen to use a wide at normally

I don't see it on the website now, but I bought some last year.
High density EVA
Only self adhesive 75 on the website but it was sold off the big roll
Number indicates weight in kilograms of a cubic metre from memory
What I bought was 3mm thick and 90
