Definitions
Flashjack is an Australian informal name for the bridled nailtail wallaby — a small macropod native to central Queensland, named for the distinctive bridled markings on its face and neck. As a creature name it is primarily of ecological and zoological interest rather than slang in the conventional sense. The 'flash' element likely refers to the animal's quick movements or its distinctive markings; 'jack' is a common suffix for small male animals in Australian vernacular.
The wildlife park had a breeding program for the flashjack, one of the rarest wallaby species in Australia.

Jacko is an Australian informal nickname for the laughing kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae), one of Australia's most iconic birds, famous for its distinctive call that sounds uncannily like loud human laughter. The nickname follows the Australian tradition of giving birds and animals friendly, shortened nicknames — similar to 'maggie' for magpie or 'cockie' for cockatoo. The kookaburra's call is so strongly associated with Australia that it is a standard sound effect in Hollywood films to indicate jungle settings worldwide.
