Common names aren't always the most useful, there will also be a bit of discrepancy within the species and what their webs look like/patterns on the spider

The web was in an ornamental pear tree. Maybe the leaves weren't messy enough.

It is outside the fence. There is also regrowth of the plants you treated earlier.

I'd guess this queen was in the genus Hypoponera, but it could be another genus within the subfamily Ponerinae. Hypoponera are probably very common around Canberra, but rarely seen because they spend their time in leaf litter or soil hunting for small inverterbrates. Cheers, Jon
