just doing a lazy Google it seems to be very similar to a male Deinopis subrufa.
Cleverer bug people than I will correct me I suppose. We used to have a couple that roamed around here many years ago, but we don't see them much anymore. Might have ended as lunch to some of the bird families around here.

As an aside we once had a spider string a long web from the house to the letterbox then proceeded to hang upside down from the middle by it's rear four legs. Looked like it was just hanging around to snatch something out of the air. Fascinating really.
