can you help me I.D. a spider or are there any good websights i can go to. i am in australia?

i was taking the washing off the line today and saw a really wierd looking spider, one i have never seen b4. ok this is what it looked like. black and hairy but not the usual spider hair it looked more fluffy (like it had been in the tumble dryer) and it had a few fluffy white spots on it's body which looked like tiny cotton balls.

even it's eyes looked like little cotton balls the same as on it's body.

At first i thought it was fake but when i got close it moved (and so did i 10 ft in the air) if you know any links for australian spiders that would be great or , better still if you know the name of this one would be better than great coz i've looked all day and can't find anything, and am going nuts over this fluffy little bugger
