You may have already done it, but I would do a search for soapstone/marble
carving blocks. A few days ago, I found a site that had steatite similar to
what you describe as a special (could not find it today). The following
site does have a variety of steatite that may meet your needs.

Don't know of an Aussie type, but you might be interested in

Check out "steatite" instead of "steatrite", too.
