Looks like Holconia (formerly Isopeda) montana, going simply on markings in this image. I find these so confusing to identify at times! See the info here re very similar looking huntsman and difficulties identifying....http://www.findaspider.org.au/find/spiders/401.htm Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks Ruth. In a way I was hoping to get some input as I was not really convinced that I got it correct.I run out of time due to grinds dropping in. Will do more tomorrow. Posted 4 years ago

    Hi Ruth.
    I feel like having been to long on a merry go round and found that Holoconia montana is now Isopeda montana . Also according to ALA distribution map it is the most common in the area around Bairnsdale Victoria. If you have time I would appreciate if you could have another look at it . https://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/2031/
