Tourgy, I would imagine most hardware joints would stock some sort of "Builders Grout", ('nother name - non-shrink structural grout)
.
Bunnings stock the Lanko version, in the indoor timber section with the floor levelling compounds.
To state the bleeding obvious ( you may need to when speaking to the Bunnings dude ) it is completely different stuff to tile grout.

Last time I bought the non-shrink grout in bunnys they guided me to the tile section and then the guy there showed me a number of different tile grouts. I said no I am after non-shrink grout. His answer was all grout shrinks. So with that I knew he didn't know what he was talking about. I then tracked down the cement, concrete blend, post mix and yes there it was "non shrink grout" - I felt like taking it to the tiling twit and showing him but it was too heavy and I was near the register so I just paid and left.Cheers

Thanks for all the help so far blokes.
I have put this on hold now as I am madly running around panicking as I have to get a concrete slab put down for a water tank that is arriving early April.
I figure there will be some concrete left then to fill this gap.
My problem now is how to get this slab done.
I had one quote and was quoted $700 for 2 square metres . That is nearly how much I paid for the tank including delivery. I will get a couple more quotes but it does not look too good from here.
Are concreters really this expensive?
I should have listend to my dad and become a tradie methinks.
My other option is to hopefully get someone to help me prepare the area and get a ready mix delivered. I have not enqired about the price of that yet but it has to be much cheaper.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Cheers
