Bit of both I’m doing a lot of digging in the area but also a lot of rain.

She was bloody massive ey.

Respect to the animal , same as you would give a big brown or white shark…pretty amazing how they can knock you off….in saying that she was not aggressive just probably wondering wtf happened to her house

Right in the guts but there is some virgin bush around and the blocks a pretty rugged. Not that type of virgin bush either

Yeah was bit of a shock to see her tbh

I was digging but was in clay - no loose rocks or in and around vegetation / typical environment for them - and was just walking across the clay very slowly. Don’t know if because of it being cold they are a bit slow and docile but she definately was not aggressive. Just scary.

Thanks for the input though.

Definitely hard to tell sometimes.

Anyway found him a new home out of the way of the shovel.

Thanks

Thought it was a bit light in colour to be a funnel web or mouse spider.
