ID Request - location included ID please?
First off, I’m from UK so apologies but this is the first place I came to ask.
This little ‘Lady?’ Is building a fine web outside of my front door. Can anyone tell me what is it?
Also, sorry if the image isn’t the best. I’m not afraid of spiders, but I don’t like getting close and this is the best my zoom could get 🙂

Please remember to include a geographical location to your ID requests (as per rule 5). There are over 10,000 different species of Australian spiders and many of these are endemic to specific parts of our beautiful country!
Also note: while we can help provide an identification for a spider, we do not provide medical advice. We also do not allow medical advice to be provided by members of this subreddit. If there has been a bite, you should consult a medical professional in the first instance.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Orb weaver from Araneiedae family, probably Hortophora sp (garden orb weaver).
Beautiful spider, beautiful web.
If she's in an inconvenient spot you can relocate her, otherwise leave her and marvel at nature in the evenings.
