AN EQUIPMENT MOUNT TECHNICAL FIELD Described herein is an equipment mount. More specifically, a mount is described that may be 5 used to secure and retain an item of equipment to a vehicle. BACKGROUND ART Conveying goods on vehicles is common in the art. Racks or mounts are typically used that attach to a vehicle contact point such as roof rails or a tow point at the rear of the vehicle. Items 10 of equipment that are conveyed on roof racks may often be simply tied onto the racks with no other mounting accessory. This can work but it does require some skill in tying the equipment properly and takes more time than if a specifically designed accessory mount is used. Accessory mounts attached to the roof rack cross bars or rear of the vehicle such as tow bars are also common. Such accessory mounts can be quite elaborate and expensive and often unique to a 15 particular item of equipment to be conveyed such as a bike or kayak. Another mounting point may be by strapping the equipment to a wire basket or alloy tray that in turn is attached to the roof of a vehicle or attached to a truck bed. The same issues regarding use of straps occur in respect of baskets and trays, with some degree of knowledge needed to securely mount the equipment and the greater time needed to ensure a secure fit. 20 Reference is now made to the item of equipment being recovery tracks by way of brevity however this should not be seen as limiting as the same principles may be used to mount other accessories or items such as ladders for example. Recovery tracks are used in off road driving to assist in recovery of a vehicle when the vehicle becomes trapped - one example being in deep mud. The tracks provide traction to the wheels and allow the vehicle to then move out of the 25 trapped region. Typical recovery tracks have an elongated shape and a width slightly wider than the width of a wheel. The tracks are generally a moulded plastic shape and a featured surface that a tyre can grip. When not in use, recovery tracks are attached to the vehicle exterior on cross bars, roof mounted baskets or trays or against the rear of the vehicle. Existing mounts are typically specific to a selected track manufacturer and are not always durable enough to cater for 30 varying numbers of tracks. One art mounting system for conveying recovery tracks utilises accessory mounts with a metal plate that is fitted to a tray and a further plate that reaches over the top of the accessory and which in turn is bolted onto the base plate via fasteners on either side of the further plate. A disadvantage of this arrangement is the material costs and parts needed. Further, the way the 35 brackets are shaped makes the brackets only suitable for selected brands of recovery tracks and limits the number of tracks that may be conveyed (dependent on the plate sizing). An alternative is a pin arrangement that butts and grips the side the recovery track or tracks, the 1 pin or pins being fastened into a tray mount. A disadvantage of this method is that the position of the pins is solely limited to where the tray manufacturer has left a hole or holes in which to fit the pins. A further mount uses a metal bracket with a sleeve arrangement that fits to the rear of a vehicle 5 and inside which the recovery track or tracks are retained. This method cannot cater for transport of more than two tracks or less than two tracks due to the fixed shape of the framework. There are also considerable material costs in the raw materials used as well as the labour costs (for example welding) to manufacture the frame. As may be appreciated, it would be useful to provide an alternative accessory holder that may be 10 used to retain and convey recovery tracks or other equipment on a vehicle that minimises material and labour costs yet is versatile enough to convey varying numbers of tracks and which retains the tracks in place securely or at least provide the public with a choice. Further aspects and advantages of the process and product will become apparent from the ensuing description that is given by way of example only. 15 SUMMARY Described herein is an equipment mount for securing and transporting items of equipment such as recovery tracks to a vehicle. The mount is versatile enough to cater for varying numbers and sizes of equipment yet, still provides the mounting accessory advantages of fast and easy 20 attachment and greater security and strength. In a first aspect there is provided an equipment mount for linking and securely conveying an item of equipment to a vehicle including: a base plate on which the equipment item or items are placed; a linking arrangement between the base plate and a vehicle mount surface; 25 wherein the base plate includes two mechanisms for securing the equipment item or items being: (a) one or more bores that complement and mate with corresponding projections on the equipment item or items; and (b) one or more slots and one or more straps threaded there through, wherein the straps 30 retain the equipment item or items against the base plate. Advantages of the above include providing an accessory mount that both simplifies and speeds up the process of attaching an item of equipment to a vehicle. The mount is particularly advantageous for conveying recovery tracks however the mount may also be used for conveying other equipment items such as ladders. 35 2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Further aspects of the equipment mount will become apparent from the following description that is given by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 illustrates an example of a commercialised recovery track product marketed under 5 the trade mark Maxtrax MKII T M ; Figure 2 illustrates one example of a prior art mounting system for holding two recovery tracks; Figure 3 illustrates an example of a prior art pin system used to mount recovery tracks to a basket or tray; 10 Figure 4 illustrates an example of a prior art mounting bracket attached to the rear of a vehicle; Figure 5 illustrates one embodiment of an equipment mount linked to a T-slot channel cross bar; Figure 6 illustrates an example configuration of a base plate in perspective view from above 15 and below; Figure 7 illustrates a close up view of the bore in the base plate and corresponding projection feature(s) in are recovery tracks; Figure 8 illustrates a further view of the equipment mount attached to a different type of T-slot cross bar; 20 Figure 9 illustrates a perspective view of a recovery track attached to the equipment mount and in turn attached to two roof rack cross bars; Figure 10 illustrates a detail view of the base plate attached to a recovery track; Figure 11 illustrates a perspective view of an alternative recovery track design attached to the equipment mount and roof rack cross bars; 25 Figure 12 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the equipment mount where a bracket is used to link the vehicle mount point (a cross bar in the example shown) to the equipment mount base plate; Figure 13 illustrates a perspective view from below of the equipment mount attached to an alternative shaped cross bar; 30 Figure 14 illustrates a perspective view of a bracket that may be used to link the base plate to an alloy tray or wire basket; and Figure 15 illustrates a perspective view showing how the base plate may include holes that may be used to thread a locking chain through to lock the equipment item to the base plate. 3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION As noted above, an equipment mount is described herein for securing and transporting items of equipment such as recovery tracks to a vehicle. The mount is versatile enough to cater for 5 varying numbers and sizes of equipment yet, still provides the mounting accessory advantages of fast and easy attachment and greater security and strength. For the purposes of this specification, the term 'about' or 'approximately' and grammatical variations thereof mean a quantity, level, degree, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight or length that varies by as much as 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 10 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1% to a reference quantity, level, degree, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight or length. The term 'substantially' or grammatical variations thereof refers to at least about 50%, for example 75%, 85%, 95% or 98%. The term 'comprise' and grammatical variations thereof shall have an inclusive meaning - i.e. 15 that it will be taken to mean an inclusion of not only the listed components it directly references, but also other non-specified components or elements. In a first aspect there is provided an equipment mount for linking and securely conveying an item of equipment to a vehicle including: a base plate on which the equipment item or items are placed; 20 a linking arrangement between the base plate and a vehicle mount surface; wherein the base plate includes two mechanisms for securing the equipment item or items being: (a) one or more bores that complement and mate with corresponding projections on the equipment item or items; and 25 (b) one or more slots and one or more straps threaded there through, wherein the straps retain the equipment item or items against the base plate. In one embodiment, the equipment item may be one or more recovery tracks but the mount may also be applied to many other accessories such as ladders or other articles. For the purposes of this description, a recovery track may be defined as a featured surface 30 elongated plank that is used to provide grip to a vehicle tyre and which is used to recover a vehicle from a trapped position. The simplest form of recovery track may be a length of wood while more elaborate products on the market tend to be moulded plastic forms. Examples of commercially available recovery tracks include products manufactured under the trade marks Maxtrax T M and Treds T M . W02007/041802A1 describes one particular recovery track 35 embodiment. The above equipment mount may be utilised alone to mount an equipment item or multiple 4 equipment mounts may be used to mount an equipment item. In one embodiment, two or more equipment mounts may be used to secure one item of equipment to the vehicle. The equipment mount may fit to a vehicle roof rack cross bar or a cargo wire basket or cargo alloy trays. These examples relate to roof mounted applications but it should be appreciated that 5 the same accessory mounts may be attached to a rear of vehicle scenario and top of vehicle and these specific examples should not be seen as limiting. In a further embodiment, the equipment mount described above may be attached to a fixing point on a truck bed or ute. If mounted on cross bars, the above equipment mount may cater for cross bars with a spread or separation of 350 to 900mm between the bars although this may be varied by changes to the 10 design and should not be seen as limiting. As noted above, a key element of the equipment mount may be the base plate. The base plate may be a moulded plastic. The base plate may be injection moulded. Plastic moulding may be useful as it allows for a wide range of features to be introduced into the shape allowing for various design features to be incorporated. A plastic moulding like this may also be 15 advantageous as it is inexpensive to mass produce and can be designed to have more than enough strength and durability for the required application. Metal parts on the other hand may be more susceptible to weathering and general wear and tear. The base plate may be approximately square to trapezoid in shape, the aim being to present a planar surface on which the equipment item or items can rest against and also providing various 20 features on or in the surface to help with attachment. In one embodiment, the base plate may have a trapezoid shape being approximately 250mm tall and varying from about 200mm to 280mm in width. It should be appreciated that these dimensions are provided by way of example only and the size and shape of the base plate may be varied to suit the application desired. 25 The base plate may include common grip features therein which mate with complementary features on a piece of equipment. Grip feature shape may be a bore or bores in the base plate with a cross shape into which a similar cross-shaped projection from the recovery tracks fits therein. Multiple bores may be included into the base plate to complement different manufacturer placement of projection features. The linking bore and projection features may releasably hold 30 the equipment and base plate together by use of a snug fit between the complementary parts. The base plate may have one or more apertures through which at least one fastener may pass through. Fastener(s) may mount the base plate to a roof rack cross bar or basket or tray. In one example the fastener may be a bolt that threads into a nut located inside a T-slot channel. In another embodiment, the base plate may be mounted to a rack or basket/tray via two bolts that 35 thread into a plate bridging underneath a cross bar or part of the basket/tray framework. As may be appreciated, various fastener arrangements are used and known in the art and these may equally be used to secure the base plate described to various features. The examples provided should not be seen as limiting. 5 In a further embodiment, the base plate and cross bar or tray/basket may be linked together about an intermediate plate. This may be useful to allow for the base plate to be positioned away from the mounting point on the rack or tray/basket. In one embodiment the intermediate plate may have a first planar surface that mates with the cross bar or tray/basket and second planar 5 surface extending at an angle from the first planar surface on which the base plate is fastened. This approach may be useful in order to angle the equipment being carried relative to the cross bar(s) or tray/basket. In one embodiment, the first and second surfaces may be angled at approximately right angles to each other allowing the equipment to be mounted in a vertical alignment relative to the vehicle roof. This may be advantageous to save space particularly 10 where other items are to be loaded onto the vehicle roof or where the roof space on the vehicle is more limited. The base plate may include one or more elongated slots through which a strap or straps pass through. The straps may be a strong cloth material (natural or synthetic). The straps may link into slots on either side of the base plate and loop over the equipment to be conveyed. The 15 equipment being conveyed may be secured to the base plate by tightening the straps down against the equipment and through the slots. Excess strap may be tied flat. In one embodiment two straps may be used, one extending from one side of the base plate and the other extending from the opposing side of the base plate with the two straps linking over the equipment to be conveyed via a linking member through which the straps may be fastened and fixed in place. 20 The linking member may be locked to secure the straps in place once connected. As may be appreciated, although interlinking features may be used as noted above, having an additional strap or straps provides securing redundancy and further confidence to the consumer that their equipment will remain in place during conveyance. In addition, the strap or straps allow for other equipment items to be secured which may not having suitable linking projections. 25 The elongated slots may be orientated in the direction of travel of the vehicle when the base plate is fitted to a vehicle. This alignment may be advantageous so as to reduce wind noise by presenting a small area into the wind when the vehicle is driven forwards. This alignment may also be advantageous to allow easy fitting from the side or sides of the vehicle. In a further alternative embodiment, holes may be included in the base plate. These holes may 30 be used to help secure the equipment to the equipment mount as a locking chain may be threaded through the base plate holes and equipment item(s). As may be appreciated, since the equipment mount includes two ways of securing the equipment to the mount (mating bores and projections as well as straps), the equipment mount described provides some added protection for securement of the equipment. In addition, the equipment 35 mount can be used to convey multiple equipment items on the one mount. By way of example, referring to recovery tracks as the equipment item(s), typical art mounting systems only allow for the ability to carry at best two tracks only. They lack flexibility to carry more tracks and can lack flexibility to carry only one track. The above described equipment mount may be used to carry one track or up to four tracks since the addition of further tracks can be easily catered for by 6 adjusting the strap length. Further advantages of the above include providing an accessory mount that both simplifies and speeds up the process of attaching an item of equipment to a vehicle. The mount is particularly advantageous for conveying recovery tracks however the mount may also be used for conveying 5 other equipment items such as ladders. The embodiments described above may also be said broadly to consist in the parts, elements and features referred to or indicated in the specification of the application, individually or collectively, and any or all combinations of any two or more said parts, elements or features, and where specific integers are mentioned herein which have known equivalents in the art to which 10 the embodiments relates, such known equivalents are deemed to be incorporated herein as of individually set forth. Where specific integers are mentioned herein which have known equivalents in the art to which this invention relates, such known equivalents are deemed to be incorporated herein as if individually set forth. 15 WORKING EXAMPLES The above described equipment mount(s) is/are now described by reference to specific examples. EXAMPLE 1 20 For explanatory purposes, Figure 1 illustrates one commercially available vehicle recovery track product. The products are characterised by having an elongated structure with a textured surface that a tyre may grip. One end of the track is pushed against the tyre when a vehicle is stuck and, when the wheels are turned, they grip the track top surface and are able to move forwards and out of the obstruction. 25 Figures 2 to 4 illustrate current art techniques used to mount such recovery tracks to a vehicle. Figure 2 shows a bracket approach, Figure 3 shows a pin approach and Figure 4 shows a metal bracket system. Each design is not ideal from a cost and versatility viewpoint as they may use expensive materials or labour, they may be limited to only one type of recovery track and they may only be used to convey two tracks and not one to more than two. 30 Figure 5 illustrates one embodiment the equipment mount described above. The mount 1 includes a base plate 2 and straps 3. The base plate 2 is linked via fasteners 4 in the example shown to a cross bar 5 with a T-slot 6. The straps may be looped together and linked via a linking member 7. Figure 6 shows the base plate 2 in more detail. A variety of configurations are possible however 35 by way of example the drawing in Figure 6 shows one arrangement. The base plate 2 as shown includes two opposing slots 8 at each distil side of the base plate 2 though which a strap or 7 straps may be threaded (not shown in Figure 6). The base plate 2 may include various elongated slots 9 in the structure surface which include a shoulder 10 therein. These slots 9 may be used as mounting points for fasteners (not shown in Figure 6) that link the base plate 2 to vehicle mount point such as a cross bar, basket or tray (not shown). The base plate 2 may also 5 include bore features 11 that interlink with complementary shaped projections 12 from the equipment item 13, 14. The base plate 2 may be injection moulded. Figure 7 illustrates the bore 11 and projection 12 features in more detail using a recovery track equipment item 13, 14 by way of example. Recovery tracks 13, 14 often include cross shaped projection on the underside as illustrated in the drawings where two separate art recovery track 10 products 13, 14 are shown. While placement of the projections 12 varies between manufacturers, the flexible design of the equipment mount 1 described herein means multiple projection 12 placements can be catered for by the equipment mount 1. Figure 8 shows how the base plate 2 fastener 4 placement may be varied, in this example with the fasteners 4 linking the base plate 2 via the forward slots 9 in this example into a different 15 shaped cross bar 5 design. Figures 9 to 11 show use of multiple equipment mounts 1 in conjunction with two commercially available recovery tracks 13, 14 products. Only one recovery track 13, 14 is illustrated loaded onto the equipment mount 1 however it should be appreciated that additional recovery tracks 13, 14 could be stacked on top of the one track 13, 14 shown allowing for conveyance of multiple 20 tracks 13, 14. Figure 10 shows a detail view of the recovery track projections 12 mating into and securing the track 13, 14 to the bores 11 in the base plate 2. Figure 12 illustrates an alternative embodiment where the base plate 2 is linked to a cross bar 5 in this embodiment via an angled mounting plate 15. Use of a mounting plate 15 in this manner limits the area taken for storage. 25 Figures 13 and 14 illustrate the equipment mount 1 attached to alternative vehicle features such as a rectangular cross bar 16 in Figure 13 and, via a bracket 15 to a basket or tray (not shown) in Figure 14. The equipment mount design is flexible enough to be used to fit the equipment mount to a wide variety of attachment features. Figure 15 illustrates how holes 17 may be placed in the base plate 2 which may then be used to 30 lock the equipment item 13, 14 to the base plate 2. In the drawing, a simple bike lock 18 is shown which may be sold as an accessory or supplied with the equipment mount 1 or mounts and which threads through the base plate 2 hole or holes 17 and through holes in the equipment 13, 14 such as the recovery tracks shown. Aspects of the equipment mount have been described by way of example only and it should be 35 appreciated that modifications and additions may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the claims herein. 8
