I asked Stuart Harris about this one who provided teh following information. "have seen it consistently in very dry habitat, often dirt and stones, gravel areas, granite or otherwise for the past decade or so. As far as I know it is still undescribed and is commonly referred to as the 'rockhopper'.
The Female is almost an ochre colour. It would fit under the family Euophryinae at present until it is described."

I have been looking at these as I found a similar jumping spider (sighting 4699956). It seems to me that these should be considered by an expert to see whether some (at least) are Saitis mutans first described by Otto and Hill in 2012. https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/899218d7-94eb-48c3-bf63-adc2f81f0cee#gallery
