Weird Spider

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Yesterday, this spider appeared near the railing of my verandah in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
I have never seen a spider like this before with front legs black with white spots and orange toned back legs.
The body shone in the sunlight, but in the shadow clearly was also marked with white spots!
Does anyone have any idea what kind of spider this is?
It seems like an orb spider, but I am not sure!

Not Big But Creepy!

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ We have just had a flurry of Autumn storms over the weekend.
And, right after the storms cleared, I almost walked into this critter busily weaving across my front pathway in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.

Spider Beauty

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~
Spiders are not my favourite creatures. But this spider had a certain unusual beauty.
Never had I been in a position where I was looking at the underside of a spider. He was actually in the process of creating his web across my garden pathway. All these nodules on his body seemed to be pulsing as he worked.
The photo was taken in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula.
