Quintessential

The word prompt from Nancy: Quintessential

To many people, the Kangaroo is quintessentially Australian. They are everywhere. I think the last count there were 50 million Kangaroos in Australia.
This bloke is an Eastern Grey Kangaroo. Kangaroos can be quite temperamental and will attack, sitting back on that huge tail and kick out with their powerful legs which have long nails on their feet. When the fight each other, the aim is to disembowel the other roo with powerful kicks.

But what about the cute and cuddly Koala? They will scratch you with the claws they use to scamper up trees. Another charming fact is that they will urinate on you once they tire of your company.
Here is a bit about Koalas

The display from last month Lismore Lantern Parade which ended with fireworks. Before the fireworks, a dance with flaming torches culminating in a fiery burning sparkling show.

The word prompt from Nancy: From Below

I am often scouting the trees for birds so sometimes I get unusual aspects of birds.

This could be called heads and tails of Little Wattlebirds
