Yes we have many some seasons. I can send them back for you =)
They build large reinforced nests underground and the woody saliva sets strongly like cement.
Oh I did not know you had them in Australia! You probably know already, but some of those wasps build nests by chewing wood mixed with saliva. So if you ever see one chewing on wood, you know why :)
