This spider was seen on a paved area hiding in a coiled garden hose in a suburban garden in Melbourne Australia.
Total size of the spider including legs looked to be about 2 inches (5cm).
I have uploaded this video. If you pause it at a few different points it gives a really good idea from a number of angles on what the spider looks like and how it moves.

Can you identify this spider please?
I've viewed the video a few times now, and still cannot see enough detail to be absolutely certain of an i.d. - Best guess at this point is a huntsman (family Sparassidae); not dangerous...
Thanks for the help!
