I've saved the best creature for last (from this particular trip anyway). this gorgeous man is some kind of Wishbone spider, a family of Mygalomorphs found exclusively in Australia, distinguished by their particularly large fangs and 'Y' shaped burrow.
For context, his body length was about 2-3cm (I really need to carry a ruler with me so I can be more accurate).
His silvery-black colouring was stunning, as were the large 'spurs' on his forelegs (somewhat visible in the top photo).
We found this male under our tent as we were packing it away, he would have been travelling in search of a female's burrow the night before.
Unknown Wishbone spider, male (genus Aname).

A beautiful and slightly alarming Wishbone Spider, Aname sp. The mites on its mouthparts are Laelapidae, and apparently are not parasitising it; rather, they probably live in the spider's burrow and hunt microinvertebrates or eat some of the spider's food.
The first big Mygalomorph I've seen in the wild, which was very exciting.

Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment.
