Found on a solar farm in Central Queensland hiding in a conduit. Made me squeal when he jumped on my hand.
Ai is giving me conflicting answers

Twice now I've seen these walking around after the rain has stopped and the Sun is up. Not sure if male or female. SA

I noticed him walking around outside and a few weeks later another one on our carpet inside our living room.
I live in the Avon Valley in Western Aus and spiders, particularly wolf spiders are a daily occurrence. But these fellas have a way of strutting like they own the space. Unfortunately my dog takes a keen curiosity towards them, so we need to stay vigilant if they are the mouse I think they are.

Apologies for bad photos, they’re screenshots from a video. He was walking slowly initially, however wasn’t so slow when I placed a container over him

For maybe all of this year a Huntsman has lived inside of my Breville Express Coffee Machine.
So Ive been having Cockroach problems inside of this machine, it even blew the circuit 2 years into its life as the egg sacs were shorting across parts lol. I have Electrical Qualifications, so I cleaned it up myself, as I didnt bother with extended warranty for this reason.
I dont open it up to clean out, but the lady here does clean the tray, so I took the opportunity to locate it and take a photo. It clearly isnt keen on leaving its lair lol, it just stays there, other than a molt about 3 months ago right next to the machine. Its probly has all it needs in there, Cockroaches and a bit to drink, what else could a Huntsman want?
I am perfectly happy with this symbiotic relationship, I havent seen a large cockroach in the Kitchen for months, Winter ofcourse helps alot tho, but its good to have the local creatures figure it all out, and thats why I dont harm the spiders or snakes, like this one I posted in the wildlife sub yesterday.

Climbed a granite mountain in central Victoria today…
Smaller than I thought, but beautiful! Thanks for the info in this community - I was able to keep myself & friend safe 🤗

Found this guy on the wall of the bathroom. The house is 114 years old with lots of places to hide!

Hi All. Found this adorable guy in a woodpile I was trying to clear out in my back yard.
He had beautiful colours which looked like his eyes.
And his abdomen almost looked silky.
He was about maybe 4 cms long
Found in Melbourne (Moonee Ponds)
I have no idea what he is, anyone know?

I thought it was a huntsman, after removing it, now I think I may have been in danger

Ivanhoe Melbourne. Found in my downstairs bathroom that I rarely use. I used to call these brown backs because the red was not quite fully developed. Mind you I got lots of real redbacks in the garage so maybe she went for a walk and got lost.

This dude scared the daylight outta me for some reason, can’t say I’ve seen a big spider that looks like that before strangely enough. Seen plenty of Hunstmans and the like, but nothing like this!
Sorry about the rather terrible video quality!

Photo doesn't quite do justice from the angle, think it was probably just over the length of my palm (I'm too scared to get close enough to actually check 😭)

Title.
Firstly, before anyone says, I am 99% sure this is from genus Holoplatys (I used to have a Holoplatys Invenusta), but I would love to know the exact species.
I have also asked on the r/Spiders and r/JumpingSpiders subreddit
