A very "anty" spot! Inch ant or Bull Ant.

This ant is similar to several other Myrmecia, but luckily the photo shows a good view of the mandibles. The combination of the colour and shape of the ant, along with the mandibles being an even width along the top half of their length makes it very likely to be Myrmecia simillima.
