Looks like hololena
It looks a lot like the spider I found in my backyard. I put it in the hololena genus.

 
No -
Hololena is a agelenid genus (funnel web weaver) - this one does look similar, but the eye arrangement (among other features) makes this a wolf spider (Lycosidae) and not an agelenid.

They are harmless. You can see some images here.
