User's notes

I almost walked into the web of an Australian Golden Orb Weaver. The spider was possibly up to 15cm long. There were several other spider webs of different species also coming off her web. She was positioned high off the ground in her web. There was a male in the web as well, but higher up and on the opposite side of the web from the female.
