A quick question for the Australians among us (or anyone who has done the Tasmania Overland Track). I've read that only "fuel stoves" are permitted. Does this mean only canister/white gas stoves or are alcohol stoves also acceptable?

Mind you, trying to find dry wood there in the rainforest sometimes is impossible anyhow.Cheers
