Hi Mick
I was at Enfiled last week and I did't see any zeolite but I was not looking for it.
It would be worth a phone call.I think Ray Nesci at Dural usually carries zeolite, again would phone first.
Fiona,

Enfield do not have it.
The only place I know of that stocks Zeolite is Ray Nesci Bonsai Nursery, Dural

$20 for a bag ( 25 - 30 L)

Thanks guys, I did pick up 5 bags of diatomite from Enfield, alas I did not have time to go to rays though because I was getting fitted in Bondi for my brothers wedding but I did happen to pick up two bags of pumice though.

I was at Bonsai South Caringbah today and I noticed that Leong Kwong has the yellow and brown diatomite for sale for $25 a bag. I'm not sure of the weight but you can always ring and find out.

Looks nice Mick Thanks
I will have to get some to put in my mix and try it out, but do not get over to the airport very often.
see the Info for Pumice from the Wiki, including where to get it.
