There are 3 Eriophora species with primary ranges in Australia according to the World Spider Catalog. https://wsc.nmbe.ch/genus/315 They are Eriophora pustulosa, E. biapicata, and E. transmarina. Now I have to look up what 2 of thise species look like. 🙂

I think it is most likely to be Eriphora pustulosa. https://images.app.goo.gl/FgvRfaH3AMneSbLm8

The abdominal markings definitely match the most with E. pustulosa so I think you’re right.
