Just a silly observation In the south of WA they refer to the highway as the Stuart highway, but in the north they pronounce it as the Stewart highway. I was sure it was the Stuart highway as he was the bloke they named it after, so why the Stewart highway?

A question for more experienced travellers, How do you store pantry Items? eg. flour, rolled oats, sugar. I have thought about plastic containers or snap lock bags or original packaging. But then got to thinking about weight and ease of use. What do others use?
