I don't know about Australia, but here in the US we have "Great Stuff"
made by the Dow Chemical company.
I goes in as a foam, expands, and then hardens to a creamy color. It can
be carved after hardening.
If you have it there, be sure to use disposable plastic gloves when
applying it as it gets pretty sticky and hard to get off your hands.

Baby oil seems to work pretty good at removing it from skin. But if you get
it on your clothes, do so in a pattern or design that you like because it's
gonna be there forever. <G>

And practice a little to get a feel for how much the foam expands, it has a
way of squishing out all over the place when it is over-applied.

You can look for:

or

depending on your needs. I just looked these up to verify that such
products are available in Oz. No doubt there are other manufacturers
too. Great for keeping those stinging biting beasties out along with the
drafts and dust.
