Wolf spider ?
Under my tent in the back yard when I packed up this morning..

Wolf spider was my first thought looking at the photo. They have a fair bit of variation in colour etc.
Because of that I struggled to positively identify one that lived in a burrow in my garden for ages.
Museums Victoria has a good range of shots to ID from which suggest it is one:

Patterning on the back defnitely says wolf.

Yes, looks like a Wolf Spider judging by the pattern on 5he thorax. Here is a pic of one at my place in the Lower Blue Mountains.
Might have been more exciting had you found it INSIDE the tent

Thankfully not!

It can't have been far away when I pulled out the tent peg on that corner though.

thanks guys.
