I've been busy these last two weeks, so haven't been on as much. Sorry I missed your question, but that article probably has far more detailed information than I could provide. In fact, I've added it to my reading list.Found this which explains it. Seems to be a variety of strategies.
Seasonal Adaptations in Arctic Insects1

That is most often the case. Different mechanisms evolve in different species or groups that allow them to deal with their environments. With the exception of the marine environment and the perpetually frozen parts of the Earth in the Arctic and Antarctic, there doesn't seem to be many places that insects can't adapt to the selection they are subjected to. Even in those extreme northern and southern areas, many insects can still be found, as the Arctic and Antarctica have insect faunas.Found this which explains it. Seems to be a variety of strategies.

I would say so. Yes.
I don't see wings or even wing pads, I'm assuming a juvenile, unless it is some sort of apterous species. From a look through the available records, I couldn't find anything that matched, but I did discover Australia has about 160 or more species. Much more than are found in my little country.
A large assassin bug. Probably one with a memorable bite too.
I take it that it wasn't very hot tea. If so, probably it is OK.

It is a much closer match than I have found. I did find that the CSIRO has a field guide to Australian spiders.Maybe a Sooty Orbweaver? And apparently females are thefatfuller figured ones.
