The Tasmanian Funnelweb spider isn't all that prevalent except in the North East forests. I had the pleasure of turning over a log and disturbing one. It was quite a large spider and the venom was dripping from it's fangs. I took it to the local museum for ID, then preserved it in alcohol. I have some slides somewhere of it. My guess would be that the spider is a wolf spider as they're fairly common here.
