Hi Gayle, would guess this was Polyrhachis australis, but can’t be sure from the photos. Take a look at the sightings of this species on https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/201993-Polyrhachis-australis and see if it’s your ant. Cheers, Jon

It's lacking the characteristic colouration of A. concolor on the elytra. Likely A. porosus, but it's better to get a view of the rear showing the dorsal side of the pygidium as well to exclude A. boisduvalii and A. olivieri.
Anoplognathus sp. (genus)
