I use 2 kg bottes x 3. Cheapest I found for gas was at Stanhope, Victoria. On the road between Shepparton and Green Lake. At a small hardware store a 2 kg. bottle was $6.00. Average $3.00 a kilo. I have been quoted up to $16.00 for 2 kg.. No thanks !!

Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Stratco are $24.90 for a 9Kg now, wasn't all that long ago they were $19.00. There's a place out on Angle Vale Rd at Waterloo Corner that is still at $19.00 for a 9Kg, just have to drive out there to get the bottles filled up. Good thing I've got nothing better to do than get stuff ready for out next trip. .
One of our companies use 100 000 litres of LPG per month and recently it went up 0.16 cpl..Why? because they can. The Industry is extorted and gouged against the Australian consumer.
Few weeks back I was in Cooktown and really was not happy at the cost of caravan park charges, food and a few other things while I was there, had been there 15 years ago when it was dirt road, things were a bit more harder get there.
Went down to the hardware store needing a second "d" shackle for the safety chain of the caravan as I had lost one, the store had them at $3.20 cheap enough, brought 2 and I asked how much for swap and go gas bottle while I was at it, $22 for a 8 kg. I could not get back to the caravan quick enough and back to the hardware store and to boot the staff were friendly as. Bargain, best thing in Cooktown apart from the beautiful sunset. Ralph
PS. Any help where is the cheapest swap and go in Brisbane, my bottles are getting low on use by date. Most times I use BCF stores for refil.
