These two are not the same spider, but likey the same variety. Found anywhere inside the house, south east suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Thanks guys. Click an image for an enlarged view.

Its general posture is consistent with it being a Pisaurid, but it does not match up well with any of the common Australian species. You might try contacting the following organizations for assistance, they all reportedly provide some identification services: Australian Museum (NSW) - http://australianmuseum.net.au/Spiders NSW Agricultural Scientific Collections Unit - http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/research/areas/research-operations... Museum Victoria - http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/ask-us-a-questi... University of Queensland Insect Collection - http://www.biology.uq.edu.au/uqic-contact Western Australian Museum - http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/research/collections/terrestrial...
