Neosparassus
Large (90mm) fast spider pale brown legs and thorax, darker and slightly greyer abdomen (female) large shiny black fangs. Mostly smooth with few short fine hairs.
Eucalypt forest but will regularly enter houses.
These are excellent to have visit the house. They will methodically clean up mosquitos, flies, vibrating spiders and any other small edible creatures. They feel quite rough when you rub them on your face.

might be martinl - I didn't turn him over for a look :)

Is this a badge huntsman with the dots underneath?
