I'm pretty sure of the I.D. so I'll go ahead

Moved from Isoptera (Termites).

All those replies came in in the time it took me to look it up!
Anyway, I think it's a Southern Damp-wood Termite - Neotermes castaneus. While checking, I found this publication on the species.

Looks like a termite of some sort

Termite of some sort.
I'm sure that others will be able to take the ID further.
