Aah!

Found one of these in the garden today


Victorian Funnel Web spider

It popped out of an old pot thing I was trying to move. I gently nudged it back in with a stick and it retreated so not an aggressive spider. Eventually it popped out of another hole, crawled off and I gave it a quick flick to move it further along! Somewhat disconcerting since it was the biggest spider I've met while gardening ... The worms here are the biggest worms I've come across but that is cool not scary.
