A redback spider caught it as I was photographing it. (It was about 12mm long.)

Possibly Dindymus circumcinctus Kat!

Thank you Bron. I knew you would find it or something very close. My one has a lot less red in the middle than the photos on ALA and I don't think it is just the lighting. There may be variation within the species.

That's the thinking Kat. Kim Pullen posted a link to the Brisbane Insect (Peter Chew) site and drew the link :)
