Austracantha minax
Aboriginal art may have been inspired by this colorful spider with large splashes of painted stripes and dots. An exaggerated spiny body for its small legs, this creature looks clumsy and unstable in the centre of its large web.

Yes they can be hard with backlight too.
Anyway, the web looks good.
Beautiful spider! And so hard to photograph these in midair!
