These are Coenagrionidae, probably Pseudagrion microcephalum but the images aren't clear enough for me. Coenagrionidae males have bluer faces than Austrolestes.

The abdomen and thorax is the most important part of identifing the odonata species. The image here is a litte blurry to make out the abdomen. My guess would be the Wandering Ringtail (Austrolestes leda)
