Looks very like this Net=casting spider image on Canberra Nature Map: https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/2458501 The 8 legs making it a spider are visible though not obvious.

Hi Steff - here's a blog Paul wrote a couple of years back, showing a female with her net. Very nice animals!
