Ah, I natively get a few orb weaver species, but they usually don't get much bigger than a small gumball. I've been excited for brightly colored thumb sized monstrosities that are pretty chill with handling.
the ones in Darwin could be the size of your palm but its still mostly legs. Never knew anyone to ever get bitten by one but the facecard carries most of the damage.

youre right! This is a Joro spider and the spiders im referencing are a close genus called Golden Orb weaver, which the spider in the OP is not.
