Unearthed this presumably Nemesiidae (or not?) specimen at Cape Liptrap Lighthouse/lookout. The chelicerae are quite short and the abdomen is stubby and triangular. The mother shared a burrow with 7 slings almost half her size, each extremely fat with very dotted abdomens. Really got no clue on ID
Tis Stanwellia, Whether it’s S.grisea or not, that’s up for discussion. I think there is much more diversity in species within Victoria then just 2 described species.

Thanks for the quick response! She really did throw me off due to her shape, her spots and legs reminded me of Stanwellia but ive never seen one like her before. The usually large slings in the burrow too were an interesting find, im guessing they have eaten their sac mates because each one is very fat
