For whoever is interested- over Bass Strait from Tasmania into Victoria where we call these aggressive little ants "jump jacks'.  Not important I know but their sting seems to itch and hurt for days. To be avoided always and they seem to like attacking in numbers. All country kids know them.

Yes aggressive miniature versions of Bull ants  [40mm] - sting like a wasp and they keep stinging. Caused at least four deaths between 1980 - 2000. 

Big mandibles but the stinger is in the tail, Jack Jumper size: 12 to 14 mm (0.47 to 0.55 in) They can jump 10cm repeatedly when defending themselves.
