Be aware that proper MAPP is no longer manufactured. Instead, a slight of the marketing hand is used. The replacements come in the familiar yellow can along with (suggestive) names such as "MPP" (and probably "MAP Pro" I suspect). However, they burn a lot cooler than the original MAPP and seem to be based on LPG and propylene. To be fair, the Bernzomatic "MPP" substitute sold here in Canada is spelled out as "Max Power Propylene". However, in this case with some oxygen to spark it up a bit you are probably back up there.

BTW, I know you Aussies like to think you are hard but why would you want an oxy-gas kit to solder ("Bromic Oxyset Soldering Kit&quot?
