Coptotermes acinaciformis
Like white ants with many varied body types according to community function.
Open dry sclerophyll forest. Inside dead eucalyptus tree base.

It was also void of termites, made of very thin walls of what feels like paper but is possibly a mache of plant material. It's very fragile. There's a good chance the owners were these... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/113...
