User's notes

Large Bull Ant (Myrmecia), approx 30mm long. Two ants spotted on eucalypt trunk at night. At the time I assumed this was a species I had recorded previously so I didn’t give it much attention, but now I’m not certain as several species seem somewhat similar. Hopefully photos good enough for an ID.
