Bunnings at Cannon Hill East side of Brisbane have these, out the back in the timber/plumbing section.  Blue, Yellow and Grey.  I got one same size as Mandrake's yesterday and can easily fit all my kitchen gear as well as two saucepans and a fry pan.  Packed and raring to go, now if only this darn rain would clear off.

Cheers Bill - we popped into Bunnings quickly on Saturday morning, but the little girl had just fallen asleep in the car so I left it running (with the Mrs in it, before anyone asks :) ) and just sprinted inside.

The Smithfield Bunnings did have the smaller square boxes - Southside doesn't have them. They had the big (900) and huge (1200??) boxes as well, which Southside DO have. Unfortunately they didn't have the Mandrake-sized ones (as they shall now be known), which is the ones I was really hoping to find. That's OK - I'll keep my eyes open and if they get some stock in I'll jump in them then.

Cheers,
Matto :)

Matto,
Because I go past there on my way home I usually have to stop in at least once a week.
Now that I know which one you are looking for I will keep my eyes open for one.
I will pm you when I see them...
Bill

Just bought a 1100x550x400 for $247 at Bunnings. These are the genuine trimcast/pelican ones. So happy I might even get another one tomorrow. Just drove down to Brisbane from Central Qld yesterday and sick of covering everything with plastic. I knew it was going to rain the whole way and my steel toolboxes don't seal properly. Bagging everything up is a PAIN!

Quick follow-up on this one - Bunnings Cairns (South Side ) has the size boxes I'm after atm - they've got a whole pallet of them. Along with the bigger ones and the square ones.

I almost walked out with one of the Mandrake-sized ones, but figured I'd better measure it first to make sure it would fit.
* The good news is it will fit on the roofrack where I want it to go.
* The bad news is that with it on the roof, the car won't go into the garage.

So, after all that mucking about, there goes that idea into the bin :).

Thanks to Bill for offering to keep an eye out for me.

Cheers,
Matto :)

Was at Bunnings Cannon Hill Brisbane on the weekend and noticed that they are now selling this brand although not sure if these are in addition to the Pelican cases
