Your picture greatly resembles the Huntsman Spider

Looks much more like a wolf spider - http://www.visualphotos.com/image/1x5811567/forrests_wolf_spider_lycosa_forrestii_emerging
Many wolf spiders construct burrows, huntsman spiders do not.

I could absolutely be wrong, just thought the markings shown in the link looked very much the same as your pic.
