I haven't seen a single thing mentioned so far that I use, or would consider indispensable.
But one thing I do find indispensable is my iPhone - it's by far the most frequently used and the most useful item I have.

My camp stool gets used, ever tour, nearly every campsite. A mobile phone is one thing that I can happily do without. On the recent outback tour it was pretty pointless and switched off for long periods - no reception most of the time.
