A Cocos can be defeated. Not without one hell of a struggle though apparently. Looks like Guadal Canal. Next the Marines will take the pencil pines – with air support. And the other Cocoses. By RubyRuby, Alexander Heights.

The famous image of the soldiers raising the American flag at Iwo Jima was in fact inspired by TLA’s ancestors pulling down cocos palms across Perth during the inter-war period. True story

If I were a cynical person, I might ask whether Twiggy Forrest’s massive bequest this week was at all influenced by the fact that Andrew Burrell’s unauthorised biography is published in a couple of weeks. The book will apparently highlight Twiggy’s ‘unapologetically mercenary manner and motivation – the good, the bad and the ugly.’

I heard Twiggy planted cocos palms as a youth.

Is this money going to be wisely spent ?, as Universities are going the way of the Meeja and retail , see , for example Udacity and Coursera. It’s like Ginny Rhindheart buying into Fairfax.

i doubt very much whether it will bill, just more profit to the money mills that universities have become.

Those roots look like they should be slithering around shooting out sparks or something. Horrendous.

RubyRuby- whats the address? There is a Cocos Court in Marangaroo. Keen to eyeball it
LikeLike
This is merely part of an anti-cocos strike along The Avenue – not all are going to these lengths, there are simply stumps in other places. Even stumps are a start.
“Cocos Court” you say? Sounds like it might feature on one of my running routes soon… stay tuned.

Ah, Cocos Place, off from Frangipani Loop. As we all know that the love of frangipani is a hallmark for a particular type of femme bogan, this should be an interesting detour…

Meh. I’d still rather a live Cocos than a bit of dead ground. I’ve a few myself; messy bastard things they are but I’ll put money on them still being around when global warming delivers Dubai-like aridity…

After long arduous waits for tradies, it looks like this front garden has reached “completion”. It now features brick paving, bright green plastic “turf”… and a frangipani in a garden bed.
