@HelenCross has someone suggested Genus Ammophila for you? Their waists and abdomens appear to be more elongated than yours. I would suggest these are likely Tyde’s Sand Wasps (Podalonia tydei).

So corrected. It is surprising how many GPS readings are 'transferred' to the nearest building / house / structure from the actual location.

Hi Frecko, thanks for your sighting. It looks like the location information you provided is incorrect. This can occur if the GPS sensor in your device was having a bad day. Please review and update the location of this record when you get a chance.

I hunted for and spotted Macrozamia communis in category: Plants – sub-category: Other Shrubs
– including clicked the button: ? Can't find it
– resulting in the global other shrubs plants' species list with this species.

NatureMapr records do not have Macrozamia communis yet sighted in the NSW North Coast region.
Hence your record may become the first – if and when this identification gets confirmed by us all.

PS. I am not the person to confirm this as I am not familiar with the many Macrozamia spp. in NSW and Qld.
I have the skills and 35+ years experiences, to identify Au plants in general from photographically shown botanical diagnostic features, but obviously not personal familiarity with everything eastern Au plants (circa 15,000 spp. – including >12,000 spp. in Qld alone),
which is humanly impossible.

Good Sunday arvo ! :)
