I found a place nearby in mt Martha that is selling 200 litre metal drums for $20. They originally contained olive oil. He also sells 200 litre blue plastic drum that originally contained various food oils. Another (ferntree gully) who sells 200litre blue plas that contained sorbitol sugars which are far easier to clean than the oil drums I have used them for water and it tastes of nothing after several cleans. Although he has them irregularly. Uses... catch rain water from chicken shed in half long ways for animal troughs cut in half other way for planter ie potato or tomato. $10 for a big 100 litre weather resistant pot. if the rains really come strap a few together to make an ark. or strap a few together to make a fishing pontoon on you dam half drums to store bits and pieces and also hide ammo in the bottom and cover with pipe fitting or such. I'd like to hear any other ideas for them any one interested I will give both no.s

I drove past a place in moorabin that had them stacked up in their front yard. Going to give them a call during business hours and see if they'd accept a drum removal service. ..

Ferntree gully guy is juilan 0434 467 705 call him but you may have to wait until he gets them in. They were $15 and had sugar stuff and were easy to clean.

That is what i have been looking for, a few of the big blue drums to store prepping gear in it in the garage to keep it out of the other halfs vision. Might help me spend some more coin on preps, lol. Cheers, Chris
