Spiders

I am not a spider specialist, so some of the identifications of species may be wrong. I am greatful for any corrections. Also, some of the images are not perfect, but more of documentary character. A special thanks to Koen Van Keer from the Belgian Arachnological Society for the correct identification of a number of species (of course, I myself am responsible for all possible mistakes).

Do you know of any spider which builds a square web? I have only seen one and it was anchored to the ground at the bottom corners and to leaves at the top corners and the actual web part was about 6 inches across and appeared to be of the "fuzzy" type of silk - no sign of the "builder" though. I live in subtropical Queensland, Australia. I thought it could be a type of Hyptiotes.
