Another spider ID!

Hi folks, Does anyone know what type of spider this cool looking fella is? I'd say he's 3-4 cm long from tip of front leg to tip of back leg. Thanks a million! Donie.

Thanks Bonedigger. Neat looking yoke.

Possibly shouldn't have read it's Wikipedia page before bed, considering that photo was on the clothes line, where the sheets are normally dried! :-D
