Description: Sorry best I could do: the spider was inaccessible without destroying her web: only guessed her location by two strands of tension web off at about 5* to the web from just off the hub, but could not see her amid the vine branches.

Description: Large - roughly 25mm from spinneret to pedipalps - orb spider - no detail regarding dorsal colouration or markings. Spider moved fast after single photo of ventral. No further sightings. Have always thought it was an orb spider - but having browsed here for a while think it may be a bark spider such as C. corticosa?

Description: Perfectly camouflaged on burnt Proteaceae seedheads, these spiders were easily spotted in early summer by following the anchor lines of their ubiquitous large orb webs spun between tall dead branches.

Description: Horny protuberance on the abdomen resembling the bark of trees and lichen. Legs covered with hair. They construct a large orb web at dusk which is dismantled at dawn. These photos were taken at 9.00am. The spider was in the centre of the web when I first saw it, but quickly retreated to hide next to the leaves caught on the bridge line.
