Even dead, it was intimidating. Ants were starting to feast

Unfortunately, the angles do not clearly show the second leg well.
The photo of the underside does seem to show a tibial spur on the second leg, which would indicate the Atrax genus.
Atrax yorkmainorum is relatively common south of Canberra.
