Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago My fiancee and I saw this spider in between our fly wire and glass door with its upper side facing us... I have never seen this spider and would like some help in identifying it... It was slightly larger than a huntsmen if that helps.. Thanks!

This is a huntsman spider (family Sparassidae); Australia has several species of these, and they do not all look alike - see http://tinyurl.com/242e4z7 for some examples.
