Looks like a net casting spider. It doesn't say it's dangerous.

If it's in the garden, not in the house it probably eats mossies and flies - hence definitely a goody in my view!

You touch it first!

 

Found out it was allergic to size 10 shoes, not taking any chances with the spiders with the kids in the garden

Yeah,looks like a Web Caster - very smart spiders indeed,had the pleasure of watching one hunt with the net it makes from web.

 

Unsure if it's that poisonous,prolly not.

Worth leaving alone and trying to capture the moment it hunts.

First rule of Australian insects and bugs:

 

If it has more than 4 legs - kill it. If it has less than 4 legs - kill it.

 

Simple.
