Well, let's check out this eNature site that has three pages of spider
pictures:

Hmmm...I see what you mean by finding all those Australia sites. My
searching is coming up with a bunch of those, too. :-)
Other than Australia and a few European sites, I just find lots of
Black Widow, Tarantula and Brown Recluse sites.
Okay, here is a listing of links to sources that are for
"Identification, taxonomy, classification and DNA Databases of
Arachnids:

You might find something in one of the listed sites, there. However,
note that is a Belgium site. :-)
