Nuytsia (Moojar)

from C0OL PO0L (Beeliar Riddim) by C0OL PO0L

about

Songs speaking to the spirit of the Beeliar Wetlands and the vast biodiversity of species that live there. If Roe 8 continues to go ahead, it will destroy intricate ecosystems forever. It will be economically, spiritually & culturally devastating. Shut it down. Listen to the wetland. Connect to country.

lyrics

John Charles Ryan for Griffith Review 'A very striking parasite'

"Indeed, to appreciate Nuytsia and its sweet side is to know the tree from the roots up – to avert one’s gaze from the easy magnetism of its flowering canopy and to become subterranean, at least figuratively. One of the world’s largest mistletoes, Nuytsia is half plant, half parasite. Its rootlets, known to botantists as haustoria, feel discerningly in the earth for various hosts, while its leaves convert sunlight into carbohydrates, as all good plants do. The tree is more accurately a hemiparasite – a producer and consumer that pilfers nutrients from other fibrous bodies (from banksias and couch grass to utility lines), a perfectly adapted contradiction comfortably at home in the thicket of binaries we impose on the natural world. In other words, as the early twentieth-century botanist DA Herbert put it, Nuytsia exerts ‘the power of independent existence after it has once become established'"
