This is definitely a large Heteropoda species. I have found a female before with a maximum legspan of 128mm. This species lives in dark areas like shallow caves, under bridges and inside hollow logs.
Thanks venus, Rob and Mark. I'm quite fearless Mark, but I havent quite worked up the courage to do a huge spider facebug pic. Maybe you could inspire me with one?;)

Thanks Chun and Felix, I've updated with the genus for now.

Great pics! It looks like a Heteropoda species.
Thanks Chun! It must be a mystery if you haven't found it yet.
Cool spotting Dan!
This is a mysterious species which I am still trying hard to identify.
