Zircon sand is the stuff you'll be looking for.

Where did you find your Zircon sand in Australia?

Bought mine a looooong time ago, before moving to Aus. From memory, it was that heavy stuff used for grit/sand blasting.

I just use sand from the sandpit across the road in the park, I like my bags with a bit of weight to em as I leave em sitting on the bonnet when driving around the paddocks when spotlighting or whistling.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up buying split peas from the supermarket. If it does not work I can make dinner with it

I see that you're in Qld. There's a reason for using sand, or some other inert material. Which is why the Zircon sand is preferred, because of its higher density. Heavier for the same volume.
But, you do know what moisture (humidity) and split peas, or rice or other pulses do when you cook them. Don't you?
There's usually a bit of expansion involved, and they're inclined to be a bit squishy. Best you make sure that they remain very dry.

Put'em in a large sandwich bag before putting in the main bag!

Good point re moisture. Might blow my bags apart
