https://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=1562 possibly not this but it looks like a very small rotund orb weaver I have seen too. I used to write these off as juveniles nut I have begun to realise I only see small ones of some orb weavers

Thanks Wendy. That does look similar. My one has quite short leggs and it was very small. I was wondering if it was an Euryopis sp.

possibly, although the one on arachne.org.au has longer legs with finer hairs and a broader cephalothorax
