Indeed he was Le Pétomane, famous for his abdominal muscle control which enabled him produce sounds, play music and blow out candles using only his posterior orifice.

Next question:

b***, cl***, h***, l***, t***

These words all end with the same three letters and are synonyms or near synonyms. What are the words?

Are all four synonyms for each other, or does this work in pairs?

I think you've miscounted however you could consider them to be like a chain of synonyms. That is A and B might be synonymous also B and C but the A to C link might be more tenuous, if you see what I mean.

Just to keep things rolling, I'm tempted to suggest an answer which I'm sure is silly, and not correct. I'll say that it's -EAR. If you encounter a bear (wild variety), you'll be wise to clear off. If a sound is clear, you can hear it easily. If a Lear jet flies by, that is also loud and readily heard. Edward Lear wrote comical nonsense which will have you -- if you find such material amusing -- in tears of laughter.

As you have probably guessed your answer is incorrect.

Hint: Shape or form

What is the name of an Australian animal, which at first sight might be a distant relative of the hedgehog and what characteristic does it share with one other species also only found in Australia, causing it to be described as a walking contradiction

Yes, you are right. Both the Echidna and platypus are unique, being classified as monotremes, mammals that lay eggs
At least the Echidna looks normal, when settlers began to describe the platypus, there were those who refused to believe it was real and must have been created by a demented taxidermist.
