I'm not as familiar with the awesome spiders you have down under, but this looks like a female mouse spider (Missulena). Compare with Missulena occatoria.Found this spider in a pot of succulent plants I was re potting, not sure if it is a "funnel web spider"
I live on east coast of New South Wales, Australia.
I'm not as familiar with the awesome spiders you have down under, but this looks like a female mouse spider (Missulena). Compare with Missulena occatoria.
While not as dangerous as your funnel-web spiders (genus Atrax and other hexathelids), a bite would not be fun.
I'm still thinking Missulena due to the bulge in the front of the carapace.the only other different image I have does not show any more than what was in this image as did not know to look for.
