Thick duvets/doonas make good temporary sound absorbing devices. The thicker the better - but you may struggle to get a thick one in Darwin! No real use for reducing bass frequencies but good for reducing reflections in the mids and trebles. You can hang them off mic stands or clothes racks, or off furniture etc. That should stop the room being too bright and reverberant.
