Trevor if these were in a mound, there is only one mound-building Nasutitermes species in Canberra - N. exitiosus.

If not, they can probably still be identified to species, with the right references or knowledge. I cant help at present as I'm away from Cbr.

They were under a small flattish piece of wood.
