“Today I drove from the corner of Russell Rd and Pearce Rd, a distance of 2.5 kms to the corner of Wattleup and Postans Rd. I photographed the cocos as I went…”.
And with that Du Maurier like phrase, EV launches into a savage pictorial indictment of Wattleup. Well the Alcoa tailings ponds are nearby, so maybe that’s where teh Cocos spawn?

‘Ode to the Cocos’
O spikéd interlopers
Rough of stem and leaf
Born into decrepitude
Our arboreal grief
Stand they dry and tall
While native flora falters
As the land turns desolate
Their rudeness hardly alters
So they wave in winds
Or stilly face the street
Affront to all that’s good and green
Though hardy hardly meet
A testament to nought but
Whim of tropic dreamer
Such they are that I implore
Recall them Argentina

It’s even worse than you think – there’s a cocos peddler out that way, too. Wattleup ‘s cocos mania has infected a much wider area.
It’s time we got tough on cocos, and tough on the causes of cocos.

I never liked cocos, but since I started reading TWOP, I’ve really started to appreciate their uselessness and ugliness, not to mention the mess they make. They’re an obnoxious weed, and we have plenty of beautiful natives that provide more shade than a cocos.

Not to mention their huge water intake.

And the lack of food or protection for native animals and birds. I may run on an anti Cocos ticket at next state election.

Thanks for posting that Shazza. Distressing. I’m seeing these bastard things everywhere now, in places where I haven’t noticed them before. Leda is a cocos hotspot – some streets have around 3 per property. It escapes me what the attraction with them is, other than that they’re fast growing.(but soon become a huge pain in the arse). Very few people know (or even care) about the ecological impacts, that’s if they if even know that it’s an introduced weed. A campaign must begin to eradicate them, both on environmental an aesthetic grounds (Why must our suburbs look like the slums of Rio ?) If you go for that anti -cocos ticket, I’ll campaign for you. Sorry for getting serious on a satirical site, but cocos are rational hatred#1 right now. Let the Jarrahdale chainsaw club loose on them, I say.
