this is one of the golden orb webs - it is at least a metre in diameter and spanning across one of my tracks on the property. there are so many this summer it's really challenging as I usually ride with only a glance at the track while scanning the surrounds for koalas but getting a face full of this is no fun lol
NOTE golden orbs are not venomous but they would pack a nasty bite
I’d be afraid of running into this thing and making the golden orb spider mad at me. At least it isn’t one of those things in Australia that can kill you.
That web looks like a monster so I can only imagine how big the spider is that made it. You'd never get free of it if you accidentally walked into it!! :)
