Sorry to put this up, but I don’t know who else to ask.  And I apologise for the size of the posting.

While out photographing lichens and other small things the other day, I became interested in some spider webs.  I wondered who would be lurking in the depths of the tubes, and finally got a bit of a shot of a fat hairy spider in one of these funnels.  This rather slow sandgroper has just put two and two together.  Fat hairy spiders sitting in web funnels!  Was this a funnel web spider?  How common are they in ACT?

Thanks to whoever answers this.
