Good thing you're using a long lens for #2 ... I have no idea what kind of spider this is, but given some of the interesting venomous beasties you have in Oz I'm concerned for the photographer's safety!

Actually this is called the Hairy Huntsman Spider and is reasonably harmless and docile.

That is what EM said just before going into apoplectic shock. Great shots of this scary spider. Bob

LOL!!! I can just hear EM now in the voice of Steve Irwin, the deceased Crocodile Hunter, "the Hairy Huntsman Spider is a very docile creature" and then it jumps 3 feet to attack!
