Thanks Michael
It certainly looks like one but it was so tiny and I have never seen an adult Backobourkia sp. in the Jalanga Recreation Park. I must look more diligently.

I would say this one is Cyclosa fuliginata (which is actually now Salsa fuliginata (still struggling to get used to that change!!) so we'll need to update it.
