No.9 Spider  | Thank you.
Here are another two images of another spider. I noticed that the shrubs were completely shrouded in webs and at the top of one of the shrubs I found a spider inside a cocoon. The opening of the cocoon was towards the ground. I gently encouraged the spider out and found it carrying what I believe to be its egg bundle (perhaps someone can confirm this?) 
and 
Any help with the ID would be appreciated.

Looks like it. She must have been disturbed from her nursery web. This species is particularly protective of her young when disturbed.

No.9 Spider | I have to confess, I gently inserted a twig into the nursery web opening because I wanted to get a clear shot of her. She returned to the nursery about 1 hour later so all was well.
