This is a second sighting derived from an original posting for which Kim Pullen provided the following comment
Ignoring the beetles in the background, image #1 is Lissopimpla excelsa (a parasitic wasp of the Ichneumonidae). Images 2 and 3 are Cryptocheilus sp. (a spider wasp of the Pompilidae)

Thank you for splitting up the photos. I was thinking I should delete these from the original post and reload them, but you beat me to it. There were so many insects buzzing in and out of the bush that I didn't realise there were 2 different species as they were both in the same area and were mainly orange in colour.
