Moonah is a forever tree.
It’s twisted form clinging to the dunes to avoid flying off into the sky in the swirling wind.
This ancient tree at Duwurrnandju (Cape Schanck) sits at the edge of the old fault line where the basalt and limestone merge.
It’s being destroyed by people searching for a view.
Signs and barriers removed.
Its branches cut to protect a path.
I feel its pain… I feel its decline.
The shells and charcoal underneath its sprawling branches tell the story of many generations of Bunurong sharing its space with respect and caring.
With respect and care this tree could revive and continue.
Time will tell.
