I saw hole where Tarantula hide was just 40-45 mm broad. http://www.everythingabout.net/articles/biology/animals/arthropods/arachnids/spiders/funnelweb_spider/

One more, the hole is wide, but I've never seen the spider you mentioned. Can you give an example of the species? The hole is about 7 or 8 cm in diameter, as far as I remember.

Are you sure have you spotted Tarantula there..? I feel this of Funnel Spider's web. I am not sure and not aware about Tarantula. Last month I saw one Tarantula hide into hole in the ground. It was dark midnight.. Before camera settings it goes inside hole.
