It has been suggested to me by a member of KAN that these marks could be from koala engaging in bark chewing. A behaviour documented by Chris Allen.
For this reason I’ll enter these marks as koala for now, in the hope to receive more feedback.

Animal scat with a mold growth? Bird?
The first picture here is taken across the road from the last three pictures, but it still has the same coloured growth on it.

These small scats were found underneath a heavily scratched tree (on one side only)- possibly used by a Lacey.
Not sure if these scats are form the same species.
This tree is also near a fresh water source.
Particularly interested in ruling out (or in) koala if that’s possible as koala like scratch marks are being investigated near by.
Appreciate ID help or tips for future.

I’m finding these marks on the larger trees in this site.
The trees often have these large marks at larger intervals, and other smaller claw puncture marks. Possibly multiple species interacting with the tree at different times.
Update: I’m just going to change this to a koala sighting rather than vertebrates for a while, to try and attract feedback from someone who might be able to suggest if these claw marks are of interest or not.
I understand that it’s likely not a koala scratch, or that I may not be able to tell, but I’m just keen on some more feedback.
Please check my other scratch mark observations that are similar.

Yellow Bellied Gliders observed flying over my head in this location a few weeks back.
I assume this is their call.
Bats were present too feeding on flowering gum.
However this recorded call was unlike the sounds the large bats were making ( a type of flying fox).
Photo of flowering gum included for geodata reference for this sighting.
This audio has been recorded off another device because my Inat account won’t let me upload media sound files for some reason.

Large claw marks on tree?
Goannas and Yellow Bellied Gliders known in area.
The marks were found from fairly low down on the trunk but not at ground level.
To my untrained eye they seemed to extend up the tree in a climbing pattern eg left, right.

I got pricked by the sharp needles on this plant. It had small fruit on it too. A weed?

I’m thinking that these are feed marks (attempts or unfinished).

White markings associated with the claw marks noted on two trees. White staining, possibly scent marking.
Yellow Bellied Gliders and Sugar Gliders known here.
Update:
I’ve had advice from NSW field naturalist group that it may be a yellow bellied glider scent marking, which would indicate a healthy social group.
I’ll change my species ID guess now and see what others think here.

Apologies for the ticking car engine. I’m focusing on the bird call in the background
