Body Length 5cm - ID by ArgyBee
My husband was moving dead tree trunks and did some landscaping when this big black spider appeared in front of the shovel and gave him a defensive pose. It's right leg was injured by the shovel but hubby released it back to the bush.

Thanks Leuba, approaching him (?) with my little lens it was a little bit risky :)
Thanks ArgyBee, yes, I think you are right. The pattern on the head is exactly the same as the one from www.dirjournal.com. Sydney or Victorian Funnel Web Spider has slightly different pattern.
great shots !

Looks a lot like the Blue-mountain funnel-web spider.
