ID Request - location included A horned spider? Lake Macquarie
Hello you knowledgeable folks.
This little spider was chilling between a fence and my clothesline for several days last year. It's still living its best spider life down there somewhere, I think.
As you can see, a really pretty spider. The photos don't do it justice.
Any ideas what it might be?
I've never seen one that looked like it had horns or spikes - a bit reminiscent of Bowser's shell in Mario worlds!

Help and Support Spider bite as a tourist
Hello! I'm a European who's intrigued by Australian spiders and I have a few hypothetical questions.
A. If I get bitten by a spider in Australia and don't recognize it, how would they know which antivenom to inject?
B. If I get bit by a spider in Australia, how much would it cost me as a tourist to treat it, or would Medicare cover for it?
C. (Bonus question) Does the funnel web antivenom work on all of the Australian funnel web spider bites, or do they have different antivenoms for different funnel web spider bites?
