mauna Kunzah, Thanks for the comment! Yes it's Orb Weaver. Many genera under that have the same pattern. :) I tried to google and got few details. Check text "leaf-shaped pattern on their fat, roughly triangular ..." in the page https://australian.museum/learn/animals/spiders/garden-orb-weaving-spiders/ Closest match is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_garden_orb_weaver_spider
