Well you were close. I believe they are called funnel web spiders. I get them too. You can really get a great picture of them on a misty day. or a good morning dew day.
BTW...Spiders creep me out and I scream like a little girl when I find one on my bed.
Nice pictures as well. You must have poor soil near you.....very rare to see them from what I have read on them.
