There was a spider on the other side of our back door earlier, I was watching it from inside.
It wasn't big, but it was large enough to easily see (1-2 cm across?) and it had orange legs (I think it's body was like grey or black or something... not entirely sure now). I know that's not a very good description, but... anyone have any idea what kind of spider it is?
Whatever it is, don't let it bite you. You'll get cancer.
Well I try not to let ANY spider bite me. The back door was open a fraction to let air circulate and it was INSIDE. Then it scrambled around the door to the outside and sat there for a while and I slammed the door shut.
Not letting that fucker bite me.

Oddly enough: no. I guess the one it most closely resembles (in colouration) is the Orb Weaver, but... I know an Orb Weaver if I see one and it was NOT an Orb Weaver.
It can be this one, then?

Storena maculata
Umm... quite possible. Not the best of pictures but, yeah, that actually might be it.
I'm looking through [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Australian_spiders][b]this[/b][/url] list now. If I see anything that strikes me as being it I'll let you know.
(I'm thinking maybe it was a [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Whitetailbig.jpg][b]white tail[/b][/url], but I don't recall the abdomen as being that long.)

Actually, yeah, I'm pretty certain it was the Storena Maculata. Thanks for that :)
