Kangaroo Weathervane. The kangaroo is one of the unofficial symbols of Australia. The kangaroo appears with the Emu as an emblem on the Australian Coat of Arms.  Both of them are on some of Australian currency. Qantas and the Royal Australian Air  Force use the Kangaroo as definitive signage.

They move around by hopping and can reach speeds of 70 klm/hour over short distances. Being the worlds largest marsupial they can grow up to 90kgs and grow up to 2metres tall. The Kangaroo is of  spiritual significance to the Aboriginals. However they accept them as a source of food. The meat is very high in protein and the skins were useful for clothing and rugs and many other items including water bags.https://onekindplanet.org/animal/kangaroo/
