Hi I caught this queen on March 9th 2019 in Australia NSW Orange 2800.
Here is some photos sorry they arent that clear, its the best I can do:

The queen is approx 6mm in length and the nanitics are approx 2mm in length. I'm planning on making my modular nest from AAC, any tips for this species?

i'd say it's a species iridomyrmex but i'm not to sure. From my experience with a iridomyrmex bicknelli they like it a little dry and are a great beginner species in my opinion.
