Eriophora sp.
This spider had created a typical orb web between some native shrubs. About 40mm long including legs. I particularly liked the orange patterned abdomen.
In an outer urban back yard.
Yet to determine species - probably E.transmarina. Variability is huge. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b...

Thanks James.. yes I fell in love with that yellow furry stuff. They vary so much I'm never sure it's this genus until I compare it on the web. Have a great holiday season. We'll be quiet for a couple of weeks.
Nice macro, love the swirling effect on abdomen
thanks Hema :)
masterpiece!!
