Easy way to identify Aussie spiders and with their common names...

I would have labelled the Funnel Web as a "Nasty one"
And put in the Goldden Orbs as "Scarey Ones'

As I would expect they would be called

Just let me know which ones are dangerous to me and I will be fine.

Here is a couple more charts of the Aussie Spiders. The second one is for you Paul, just so you know the nasties mate.

we have the white tails here hit with burst from aerosol can,fly/bug spray or hairspray or even deodorant or yip squash the bastards ...but do it outdoors as the scent attracts more of them...they eat other spiders
the pyrethin based sprays seem to work well at keeping them away from eaves of house (all spiders) with bonus of moths and flies staying away too.

Heat works fastest to kill any spider or insect with an exoskeleton. Anything from hot water to flame throwers. Hot water from my tap will kill them all.
Your Red Back looks like a black widow except the black widow has a red hour glass on her belly. I have raised a few in captivity and yes, their bite is life threatening. Ours are only supposed to live about a year and a half but one that I raised lived over three years. She never laid any eggs though so that and a good diet of crickets probably had a lot to do with it.
