please help identify this spider

Sydney, Australia

Hi everyone, i found this rather hairy spider a few weeks ago on my living room floor and again tonight just outside my door in a rather large circular web. It's fairly large, i would estimate over an inch and a half (legs inclusive). Is anyone able to identify it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
