Hi This is Badumna insignis. You commonly find these spiders on the sides of houses or wooden fences. The web is characterised by several funnel like entrances into the web. The white tailed spider loves to eat these spiders and will vibrate the outer web lines to draw the spider out into the open. Here is a link to more info on these spiders: http://ednieuw.home.xs4all.nl/australian/laceweb/laceweb.html Cheers, Ken
