I’m not sure which species this is but it is a Garden Spider in the Argiope genus.
I’m fairly sure it’s Argiope lobata at an atypical angle. https://wsc.nmbe.ch/species/3347
I “cheated” and used a computer vision app on the photo and it gave A. lobata as the top answer with similar photo examples. I was impressed! I checked the World Spider Catalog and this species does live in Australia.
I think you’re right. After looking at the pictures of this species on this website I’d say they look very similar. Thanks!
