I dont, but I looked into thier website and it looks like good stuff! They seem to supply in all sorts too, 1-3, 2-4, 3-7, 2.2mm+.
I sent them an email with your same question (Im also in Melb), fingers crossed they bother to email back!

Got a bag of this from Damian (from Ology/Dirtbags in Maidstone) a couple of weeks ago. I have used it before, it's miles ahead of the "Spillzorbe" I had before that, which required a fair bit of sifting and meant half of it was kind of unusable ... particles too small. I haven't opened this bag yet, but the last one was very uniform in size (2-4mm as it stated).

I'll second the thumbs up for the Woolies home brand cat litter. It needs a sift but the price is good and I know a lot of people using it with no issues.

Thanks Ryan,

I have this too - it's excellent - I was looking for the 4-6mm size as well.
