About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
Perfect reflection 🙂

It was where Annette lived in the Pelorus Sound New Zealand. It was the middle of nowhere but incredibly beautiful.

I send you a chinese burn for not saying where this glorious place is, Irene.
And after that, a savage pinch.

Careful M.R. I have really long fingernails. This is a place you can’t get to unless you have a friend who lives there in the Pelorus Sound. There is no road access and it is a one and a half hour boat trip from Havelock in the South Island of New Zealand. A beautiful place.
