Wonderful Kerri, I've been labouring over this for quite a while. Now that I know what a trochanter is, they don't look unusually long in this spider; but it does seem to have long spines (or at least hairs) on its legs; also it was a very flat spider; it could walk very fast over a plaster wall but I didn't see it on glass. Looks very like Hemicloea, on p154, Robert Whyte & Greg Anderson, A Field Guide to Spiders of Australia.

I'd go with Hemicloea sp. as per ref above. Eye formation would be the clinger. Spider in that pic is missing right leg 2.
