This is the Long Jawed Spider <I>Tetragnatha valida</I>.  Indeed you can see it's "long Jaws" in the second shot. The body length ranges from 11mm (male) to 14mm (female). I found this one among the foliage of a Coast Wattle (<I>Acacia sophorae</I>). As you can se in the photos, it rests with it front four legs outstretched. At night they build a small orb web.

The photos were taken with a Canon 7D and Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens.
