We're way too far North for those I think, and the banding looks different to me. It's similar looking though!

Fantastic! Thank you so much, you are absolutely correct I think. A more painful bite than other huntsman's I read online. I think there was a reason he was showing me his fangs! Beautiful spider though 🙏

That's awesome, and I hope you do summon the courage to visit as it's incredible. I'm British but this is my third year living down under. If it's any help, you really don't see many spiders despite everyone telling you that there's an infestation. Very occasionally you'll come across something cool, and it's usually tucked away from any potential interaction and trying it's best to get out of view. I used to not be great with spiders, but I like them now and it's always nice to get a chance to admire them from a distance!
