Where can I buy the butane adaptor?

Hi all,

I plan to hike to the Great Ocean Road the next week. I have taken a dove from my country (China) .
I bought 4 butane gas cartidges ( the long bottle ) from KMART today, but found it incompatible with my dove. A butane adaptor is required to convert the nozzle.
Would you please tell me where I can get the adaptor, or I can buy it from you if you don't need it.
PS. I lived in Melbourne. Thanks a lot.

Gasmate make a adapter that is available from most camping stores I've seen them in bcf and ranger. Readily available on eBay as well kovea make a good one. Though you'll struggle to get one in time for your trip. Probably easier to just buy the proper canister, one less item to carry.

I think the Gasmate adapter is advertised for around $20. You may be better off cutting your losses and buying a canister that fits directly. As noted by Maverick - you probably don't have time to wait for something from eBay, which would be cheaper.
