Nephila pilipes piscatorum
Large spider with silvery-grey abdomen and brown-black, yellow banded legs. This (Australian) Golden Orb-Weaver is a female, the males are tiny and brown-red in colour.
Found in primary and secondary forests and gardens.
Photographed at Tolga Country Lodge on the Atherton Tableland. Unfortunately I only got a shot of the underneath of this spider, but I was lucky enough to see the male too.
