I live in Perth, Australia (Western Australia). I found this little guy in my bathroom.

It appears to have four very long front legs, and four short back legs.

Sorry about the low quality photo!

I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find out what type of spider this is. The closest i've come is thinking it's a Saint Andrew's Cross. Although it doesn't look like it colour-wise.

Harmless to humans.
