Here are photos of a few other spiders that I see in the hills near Wollongong. I encounter these while searching for Broad-tailed Geckos (Phyllurus platurus).

I don't know what this is but it looks as if may be a relative of the Flat Spider. Any ideas?



Wolf Spiders?







An interesting cricket that probably feeds some of the larger spiders:



This is my real target of the night walks ... a Broad-tailed Gecko.

Photos 2, 3, and 4 are fishing spiders. Looks like the standard Dolomedes from North America.
