2 Huntsman in 2 days!!!!!!
Our house has been 'spider free' for some odd reason....not that I am complaining!!!! However last Friday we had to rise very early (4am!!) in order to catch 'The Prospector Train' to Kalgoorlie. As I was passing the laundry room I saw to my hrror the biggest huntsamn I have ever seen. It was as big as a mans out stretched hand. Bloody Huge! 
Sadly we had to kill it. I know they are harmless, and are pretty useful to have in the garden, but we were leaving the 2 boys in bed, and if one of them had got up and seen it they would have freaked..........
The very next day, at Kalgoorlie, there on the wall at the station was another Huntsman..........do they think it was 'haunting' me!!!!!!!!
