Probably Diatomite, but without purchasing and testing, no way to tell
Fill a jar of it with water and put lid on and leave on the bench for 2 weeks. Then see if it is still hard.

That's an expensive way to get it! Where in Melbourne are you? Its not that hard to find - there is usually a supply available at most club meetings, sale days etc, Julie does a good job of supplying it over this side of town(south east): https://www.facebook.com/BonsaiRoots2015/?fref=ts

Over in the west try Damien @ Ology http://www.ology.net.au/#!bonsai-soils/c1n0f
