Spider in Australia

I was in Australia (Queensland) about a year ago. I just finished a hike through the forest, and felt something on the back of my neck. Without thinking I grabbed it and threw it on the ground (kind of a gravel road), and it was this little guy. Just the coolest little jumping spider I've ever seen.

Good catch. There is just too many jumping spiders. Really Australia, you gotta have two green ones with a face mask?
