Greetings Jay,
This is a harmless Orbweaver Spider in the family Araneidae, and we could not locate a visual match on the Brisbane Insect website, though many spiders in this family are highly variable in markings and coloration. Our best guess on the species is Eriophora transmarina, an apparently highly variable species that can be viewed on the Orb or Wheel Weaving Spiders page, Oz Animals and other places on the internet.
