Pumice is good too. No doubts there.

Send an email to Mtsylvia (check their website), and ask if they have a supplier already there.

I think Pumice will be a good addition to any mix.
when I can get over the other side of Sydney, I intend to get some and try about 50% diatomite, 25 each of Zeolite and Pumice.

Grants soil tests confirmed that a mix of ingredients works far better over time than single ingredients at 100%
