We call them Red Back Spiders and I think they are similar. Ours has the red stripe on their backs instead of the belly. The stripe can also be orange or light brown.
They are nasty bastards, and can kill (although no one has died from a Red Back for a long time). Hurts like fcuk though - I got bit a couple of years ago while working on the 944.
