Definitely Nylanderia, probably, well I won't go there, because the Australian species need work, but right from the first post I've thought Nylanderia. The second image in post #9 above has a nice lateral view of a worker, showing the distinctive stout pilosity (standing hairs) of that characterize this genus. 

Thank you! Very glad that it seems like we finally have an ID on these girls! :D
