Most Australian spiders are capable of causing a bite which produces some degree of local reaction and occasionally systemic effects. However, only the Sydney funnel-web spider which is limited to a 160 kilometre radius from the centre of Sydney and the red-back spider which is found in all States are capable of inflicting a potentially lethal bite.
