Magasin Arii Cooking Gas (Ahe)

14° 32.3′ S · 146° 21.4′ W · approximate

A small village shop near the post office that sold French gas bottles to cruisers without a deposit.

Practical

Position is the OpenStreetMap 'Magasin Arii' building; matching it to the compendium's report is inferred from the owner's name, so position is approximate. Jacaranda (Sept 2016): cooking gas is available at the small shop across from the post office, about 50 m up from the wharf; 'Arre' is the owner, and no deposit is required if you bring the French bottle back. Verify locally. Other shops: Magasin Suzanne and Magasin Lucie; stocks are thin between ships (no fruit or vegetables, Oct 2023).
