It's markings don't seem to be false widow, and while it was behind an old blind in the garage I'm just not sure it was dark enough to be a "cave".

If it was America I would say Black Widow (Latrodectus mactans), and if Australia I'd say Red Back (Latrodectus hasseltii). Deffenitly in the same family though, very interesting! :-)
