Dare to ask: any chance of finding a canon or universal charger in SI or PNG?

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

You may laugh at me for asking: I was so stupid to lose my Canon LC-E12 camera charger in Fiji (for LPe12 battery). In Vanuatu I luckily found a kodak shop that has a universal charger, but I'm scared that I won't find an option in SI and or PNG (and really like my big camera and the beautiful places the South Pacific is able to show me).
I tried looking for other canon cameras with the same charger, but unfortunately the ones I found all have a thinner battery.
Online, I haven't found a shop that ships to the Solomon Islands or PNG (Papua New Guinea).
So just to see if I can be lucky (otherwise I will just have to buy a new one)... Is anyone living in or traveling to SI or PNG with this charger or has any tips how/where to charge it?! Hope anybody can help me out!

you are right to worry my friend. sadly enough. even if you find what you need in PNG it would be crazy expensive. i had to buy a camera there. in kaviang, biggest town on new ireland it was almost impossible to find and the really shit camera i bought cost twice the price that it should. in lae it isn't better.
sorry
