I’ve never seen anything like these colourings before. Found on the ground, however we were cutting down a high branch to prepare for a storm, so the spider may have fallen out of the tree.

Colors are odd but I think this is one of your gold silk orb weavers.
Maybe genus Cyrtophora https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/49717-Cyrtophora
I was going to ask for Nod’s help, he is good with these over seas spiders.
By now, surely you have seen guiness record spiders on the body, those Ozzy gold silk spiders are the choice and you can see the color variants.
