I assume it is a variable peacock spider, the black spots are smaller than on the ones I see in Canberra

Aah. Was this by chance found south of Canberra? Possible to get a rough location?

Found it in farmland about a kilometer east of Bredbo.

Excellent. I am aware of a population approx 8km west of there. Was the ground grassland and rocky?

Very rocky with some short, dry grass.
