    There are several other Australian huntsman spiders and Delena cancerides doesn't seem to be the right one. It looks like a Holconia species, not sure which one.

Great macro, nice details on the eyes!
The only spider I've ever shot I still don't know the species of.. Tiny buggers, not that much into spiders:)
