shellite

Advice please re buying shellite for the MSR.
Fly in Hobart 0720 Saturday and would like to buy shellite on the hire car drive up to Cynthia Bay for 4 days in Pine Valley area. Will be too early for the camping stores near the airport.
Do they sell shellite at the Parks place at Cynthia Bay or is there a reliable hardware store on the way up there?
Cheers
David

I'm not a local but Bunnings opens at 7am weekdays and 8am on weekends. One located at Glenorchy which Google tells me is virtually on the way to Cynthia Bay from the airport. Google also tells me that the Bunnings in Glenorchy has Shellite in 1l and 4l containers.

Yes it's late at night and I can't sleep :(

Cheers

Thanks Giddy up. They have put their last 1L bottle behind the desk for me!
