You are best to use marine carpet. It's super durable, comes in heaps of colours & is easy to work with. Doesn't seem to absorb odours either.
You can get it at a variety of
places.
$69/m sounds pretty close to the mark from memory.
If you have a Clark Rubber down there you could try them. Maybe
BCF or Whitworths. Even a floor coverings
shop.
You can glue it down with liquid nails type adhesives & staples if gluing to wood.
I have used a Sikaflex to glue it to aluminium, but that was a flat surface.
Just put a thin bead all around the edges & a criss cross pattern over the rest. Maybe a bit extra where it might get pulled.
