That there is a spider.
You made me chuckle.
It’s a cross orbweaver or European garden spider (Araneus diadematus).
Yes, that’s it. Thanks!
Golden Orb Weavers are common in Australia. I took this pic back in 2016 to send to some of my friends back in the US who find a kind of intense fascination in spiders (and also in avoiding them). Note the banding on the legs, same as yours:
Over here we call them cross spiders because of the cross pattern on their abdomen
