Long-legged sac spider on snake vine flower
This unique and delightful looking little spider was seen blending nicely with the bright yellow flowers of Hibbertia scandens, a native Australian climber/trailing plant.
On appearance, especially eye pattern, this is a spider in family Tetragnathidae - orb weavers with elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae. After research, I am unsure of a species ID and wonder if a male going by the slightly swollen areas on the pedipalps?
10 mm body length
Edit: now identified as genus Cheiracanthium, male. The name is a reference to the backwardly directed process on the cymbium of the male palp as seen in my shot.

As for ID, I lack the skills to help but found something that confirms your current direction:
