When I was living in Katherine (NT), many moons ago, I was raking up a pile of leaves and they began to move. I encountered the largest spider I have ever seen, it was as big as a large crab. I was informed that it was a bird eating spider. I reckon the body itself was at least 4-5" across, and when you add in the legs, it was monstrous. Now I am an aracnophobe from way back, so I just about levitated a good 20 metres to get away from it. Never want that experience again, reckon if it had happened now, I would have had a definite coronary.
