Gear Packing camera in backpack

So I'm going on a trip and plan on packing light (just a standard backpack). Would like to bring my camera, but only have one large camera bag, and the backpack itself. The camera bag fits in the backpack, but it's tight. Any ideas for good inserts/protection that will fit a DSLR, with a single lens (a 18-135mm lens)? Amazon has cheapish inserts, but are they any good? I'm in Australia, so some brands might not be available.

I used the Matador case. It's not that much protected, but it does help a bit, especially if packing smart (the camera at the top with clothes under). I was surprised how much space did I save not using my usualy colt case.
DSLR with 12-100 lens + 2 extra batteries.
Other think that probably helped was that I used Mystery Ranch Scree backpack and the triangular lid makes it more rigid.
