Hi there this could be a Backobourkia brouni :3
Backobourkia are interesting with big spines on the abdomen. I can’t tell from this angle if there are big spines. Eriophora transmarina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_garden_orb_weaver_spider is another possible orbweaver. The photo is fantastic! She’s in her defense position which is also a resting position.
