I thought i had a mosquito bite but the next morning it had a red risen circle around it about 6cm across. i'm in australia - could be a spider bite?

Could be: It could be any number of things from an insect bite to just another traumatic reason for cellulitis. If it's spread 6cm overnight, you should have it evaluated urgently.
