What type of spier is this?

Pakenham, Australia

Hey again guys,

This is the last one for today, its quite similar to the one i posted a few minutes ago - though they do look slightly different.

These two are not the same spider, but likey the same variety.

Found anywhere inside the house, south east suburbs of Melbourne, Australia.

Thanks guys.

Would really like to see the 'face' (eye pattern) of this spider - looks like a fishing spider such as in the genus Dendrolycosa, but it would seem very unusual to find one of these indoors.

Cheers.

Still really need to see the eyes. Its general posture is consistent with it being a Pisaurid, but it does not match up well with any of the common Australian species. You might try contacting the following organizations for assistance, they all reportedly provide some identification services:
