Those bush rats can be so annoying.

White plastic Coleslaw tubs from the local chicken shop. Food grade, obviously, air-tight, and each one holds half a sack of grain.

I went in there asking if I could buy a couple off him, he just asked how many I'd like, and gratis.
 
Most of the stores in Melbourne will run a grain book, which allows you to pre-pay for say 25-50kg at their bulk prices, and just take it as needed.
 
A year should be fine as long as it hasn't absorbed too much moisture - which you'll be able to tell pretty quickly as it becomes "slack" and not that crunchy/fresh anymore.

I use the 80L (i think) blue plastic drums with snap on lids (metal snap ring) from the local farm supply shop, cost about $15-20 each , 1 of them holds 2 or 3 full 25kg bags, which is enough for me.

Do you know of any place around melbourne that stocks them at this price?
 
I got one of these from the local market guy. Nice tight seal and large opening, seemed OK for $20.00.
A full bag of grain fits with room to spare.
