Not too sure about species found in Australia, however, this strongly resembles a spider in the Linyphiinae family of sheet web spiders, most notably the Frontinella communis that is found here in the US http://bugguide.net/node/view/2043/bg...

Incredible photos, Jason! I've moved this to Arthropods for you and ticked the "help me ID this species" box so others can help you identify this spider.
