Could it be that the one u saw was shedding a skin and that u saw that on its back?
I believe they shed

i could NEVER go to Australia - think badnews off here said he'd chased a big one round. He tried to catch a massive one in his hand that crawled out of the bumper of one of the xr4x4's at dono - i was nearly sick
i would really probably faint if i saw one of those huntsman ones, i hate the leggy ones most
well i thought it might be a skin - but it was carrying the other in it's mouth

(i know them bits on the front aren't teeth)
it was another full on spider, i think it was hurt or it might have been dead, i didn't get close enough to look. It didn't even try and run though, it was just walking slowly
my mum threw them both into next doors, so they can go and live there
