Moved from ID Request. My non-expert guess is Cheliferoidea. Most images here haven't been narrowed down past order and even a definitive family ID requires very small features.

Aaron, you were correct that the genus is indeed Cheliferoidea. Dr. Mark Harvey of the Western Australian Museum, head of Terrestrial Zoology confirmed the genus. This was a female and as you probably know, only the male can get you to species. Just though you might like to know.
