Just your friendly neighbourhood spiderman, disguised as a Funnel Web.
A friendly little beast. NOT!

I used to play with trapdoor spiders at high school. It was fun to tempt them out of their holes. My sister also did a study of funnel web spiders in the Canberra district at university. A friend of mine also swears she found a large tarantula in her house in south Canberra, even though they are not native to Australia. She has arachnophobia but all spiders love her and chase her round the house.

Is this beast what it looks like?
Found in Everton N E VIC
When I was a kid I helped digging footings for an extension to our house. Found about 30 of them & they were not happy.
Yep, i reckon that looks like a spider Dougie.
