Australian Golden Orb Weaving Spider preparing to lay eggs

Didn't want to get too close to her, but the web is a golden colour, that's why they are called golden orb. I have seen some huge Golden Orbs in Australia. This one was small in comparison. So not an intricate close up photo, but I doubt she would have like a lens too close! I have seen these with thousands of babies in their webs. Walking into one isn't advisable... just ask me!
