Stove fuel at Park Shop?

Thu 14 Jan, 2010 7:25 pm

Does the Cradle Mountain park shop stock Shellite?

I'm flying in to Launceston in the evening next week, Tassielink
coach to Cradle the following morning at 8.30 (before Paddy Palin etc open).
Am struggling to work out where I will get fuel? Does anyone know if
the park shop stocks any fuels? I also have a gas stove that runs off the
C206 gas cartridges, I could take that If I know I can get the cartridges.

Appreciate any advice.

I'm almost sure they do- 99.9% sure I saw some in the Transit Centre a couple of weeks ago. I'd give them a call though- they can be...uh....scatty with information. Also, you could call the Caravan Park there- it's a Cosy cabins from memory, they have a little store.

Is your bus stopping in Sheffield?

Can now confirm that the Park store does stock Shellite
and a variety of gas canisters. Were very helpful when
I phoned and explained my predicament.
