Most of the small town have the screw on canisters, like the ones that fit JetBoil.
Collie certainly, Balingup probably and I am sure I saw some in Dwellingup.
The guy at the roadhouse, first major highway crossing was going to increase his stock of walking things, can’t remember its name-some Roadhouse.
That's North Bannister, I think it was called something like "half way roadhouse" or "three ways" or something like that, but you walk to it from the hut about 1km. Its clearly signposted.I am not sure but I think you can have a shower and a hot meal as well.
Threeway, in Nth Bannister. Recently changed management, so may have changed name, too. Accessible via the spur trail from the Bib. Best to check first with each of these towns, or have a friend around to be absolutely sure. March in WA can be very hot. Doesn't really start getting cool until April. But starting in Albany, and walking uphill to Perth, you should be okay.
The fireban is always until March 31, and can be extended depending on conditions. I think it was last year, well into April.
Drop me a PM, and I may be able to give you more advice. And as already said the Bibbulmun Track Foundation people are very, very helpful, too.
