Hi Speedsta, good ID on the first three photos - they are all Camponotus aeneopilosus. The fourth photo shows a different species - Myrmecia pilosula. Maybe you could add this as a seperate sighting? Cheers, Jon

Hey there John, I didn't realise they were different, the nests were so close and thought the sun was playing tricks on me.
