Def not a Wolf spider (family Lycosidae), looks more like a male Megadolomedes australianus, or Giant Water spider (from family Pisuaridae)..

I’m pretty sure it’s Stiphidion facetum. See https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:84e49713-097d-405b-a53e-adf20f98a10c#gallery

Well done Paul, and Charles, was a stiph challenge to ID this one! Never heard of them before; the one thing I have learned today :)

Nice pun, Stuart! I got lucky with this one as I had made a sighting of the same species here in Wonboyn a couple of years ago. It took a deal of work at the time to puzzle it out. The family is in the “Little-known” section of Whyte and Anderson.
