This little spider was so reliant upon it's disguise it refused to move at all when scared by my camera presence. Instead it just kept very still - like a flower. What will it do when the flowers have faded and collapsed? Yet to search for species.... Eriophora or Araneus..... http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...

Thanks for looking at it. I agree Eriophora is most likely. There are many similar patterns but none quite the same. Makes for a pretty scene anyway.
I would bet on Eriophera.... nice find
