Bushwalk Australia

Up the high plains where it isn't likely to get below 10C would you use canister mixed gas or the cheaper butane hairspray bottles?
Packing my bag now and wondering if I should take advantage of the Bunnings price on a 6-pack of butane
I've got the adaptor already and I use a hairspray stove for car camping but down to only a couple of bottles. So saving the more expensive canisters for winter

Well to answer my own question the hairspray canisters work fine with the remote stove.
However I am back home in Geelong

Not a total write off but close.
I was so busy avoiding all the 6 month old Sambar I hit the damned 'roo that jumped in front of me and just stood there, luckilly I was only doing about 60 when I slammed the brakes on but I still hit hard enough to kill it

Good to hear the gas worked, Moondog. But for the roo and the car.

I've been driving the Falls Creek road for almost 50 years, must have driven up and down thousands of times [ remember I lived up there for eight years summer and winter] I have never seen so many Sambar

Propane/butane mix canisters have worked unfailingly for me whether bushwalking, bicycle touring or car-based camping.

Winter temps in the alps certainly can dip below minus 10°c in places like Camp Creek nr Cleve Cole Hut!

Curious about the roo mention.

I have not seen deer or roos recently. Was up there on the long weekend with 3,600 others (9-10th) for the Peaks Challenge 235km road ride and not a single 'roo or deer seen anywhere, not even out Friday night burble down to Falls Creek (the waterfall); on the ride down from Falls, over Tawonga Gap, up Hotham, into Dinner Plain...down Anglers Rest — nothing at all on the roads other than minor rock falls at Hotham... . All access roads to Falls were closed from 3.00am Sunday; same with access to Mount Hotham and down to Anglers Rest; still no roos. Maybe the bouncy things got the message that Russian roulette with 3,600 very high speed cyclists wouldn't be a good idea...

%That's interesting, the deer are usually thicker on the ground over the Bright side but this trip there were heaps. Hairspray butane canisters not the squat propane mix this trip
