Lovely big Nephila female! Well done for photographing every angle. It is the shots from underneath, showing the yellowish sternum, that suggest this is Nephila plumipes rather then N. edulis. Also, the strongly yellow leg joints are consistent with N. plumipes. The two species are otherwise very similar, and are often mixed up. I'll confirm it as N.plumipes, but will also ask Stuart Harris to have a look.
