Argiope pulchella
The spider has a cross web and spring like. The body is similar to a gastropod shell with colored spots as ornaments. I could check the internet and got information at - http://australianmuseum.net.au/St-Andrew... Area of distribution - found across Australia, including Tasmania.

A belated Welcome to Project Noah!! I just noticed you are new here on Project Noah. I am sure you will enjoy!

Welcome to Project Noah, PramodHanamgond,
I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into:http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
Certainly an Argiope sp., but not A. keyserlingi which is an Australian spider. I think yours is Argiope pulchella.
Argiope anasuja is another candidate. I think this one is the wrong picture on Wiki:

whereas this one looks fine for A. anasuja:
