Thanks ChunXingWong for the always helpful IDs on my invertebrates
ChunXingWong
Yeah, that makes sense. The pseudoscorpions from Australia have long abdomens.

Or mimicking a Pseudoscorpion? Don't why though.

A Copocrossa jumping spider. Possibly mimicking a small scorpion.
ScottHarte
Thanks, wish I knew what it was, the long arms ended in single pointed spear. First time seeing this species.
Andrea Lim
That is a most unusual spider. Have never seen one of those before, and so close to home (Cairns). Good spotting!
