Ummidia sp.
Definately NOT a Sydney Funnel-web Spider, as they live on a completely different continent. This is actually a Cork-lid Trapdoor Spider of the genus Ummidia. The saddle-shaped depression on the third pair of legs (visible in your photo) is a key characteristic of this genus. Ummidia are not dangerously venomous, but can sometimes become aggressive when removed from their burrows. Here's a link to the Ummidia page here on BugGuide: http://bugguide.net/node/view/6935

That looks like...
The Sydney Funnel Web Spider... Atrax Rubustus? Pretty sure it's a female. Oh, and the two front "legs" aren't legs at all. I guess you could call them "feelers". It's what they feel around with. Kinda like us, only with 8 legs, and 2 arms. Anyway, that's what it looks like to me..
