Lol! Venatoria can be found nearly everywhere, so yes - at first sight a H. venatoria. With its size and carapace coloration this should be a female spider...
Considering the number of cane toads here, it's surprising that any terrestrial or semiterrestrial insect lived to get that large. This one was on a little lava rock "island" in the middle of a fountain, where it had likely been feeding on the dragonfly larvae that come out of the water to molt. Apparently sheltered enough from the toads to grow up.

I had no idea there were cane toads there, I would have loved to have stumbled across a few of them....the coolest things I found were some rather large millipedes, a big terrestrial snail, lots of different lizards and a really cool little mantis.
I searched for scorpions and centipedes to no avail....honestly, I probably just spent too much time fishing...lol
