These spiders seem to be popping up everywhere in Adelaide. We currently have three permanent residents in our garden and we have been watching the progress of them for the last couple of months. They spin very large webs and do a really good job at catching those annoying flys. Also completely harmless hence they may stay, although our neighbour is not so keen as the only time the spider moved happened to be when she was opening her gate just below the web. I think she must like the neighbour, you know trying to be friendly by saying Hi.
My camera is having trouble focusing.
This spider is our longest resident and she is getting very big!
She did have to move from next to our pear tree after a very strong storm was too much for the web and it broke. She clung to the top of the pear tree for the rest of the bad weather and has upgraded to the grape vine growing on the veranda.

Orb web spiders are just the coolest, especially when their web has the early morning dew still on it.
