i know the feeling. i had one of my Escorts sitting for a good part of a year without being touched. slid underneath it and had a good 10 black spiders in my face. never got out from under the car so quick.
i just bought some mortein or somthing like that and bombed the car with that. left it for half a day (mainly to ventilate) didn't see another spider

Was just saying to my sister yesterday, there seems to be a lot of spiders around this summer. I chased the biggest huntsman out of a corty I have in storage and he was NOT happy.
Yes strategically placed bombs should to it, or my other sure fire remedy is....chooks. I might recoil at the sight of a big plump redback, but the chooks? No way....one step forward and CHOMP....gone.

do you have an enclesed shed or garage? get a couple of bug bombs, open the doors, place one each side of the car, set off, run, close the shed behind you... dead everything [88]
my falcon had been sitting for 1.5 years and i put a bug bomb inside, left one of the windows down 1ish cm and left it overnight. haven't seen a living thing inside of it yet :P

Find a pack of these at the local supermarket. It'll kill everything in the car. One will do nicely as I used to use them in a double garage and it killed everything including huntsmen.  http://www.mortein.com.au/product_control_bomb.php

A friend was bitten on the cheek by a red back spider.
He lost two teeth today because of it.

This is a redback. It all depends where you move in Australia as to what you need to look out for. Dropbears are everywhere so there's no avoiding them.

id say redbacks are prolly the biggest worry out of all the things in Australia that can kill you.
Only because they are quite common in the suburbs
