Most of you will have seen many blue skies of Noosa before so today I have included a short video of the sounds of the Noosa skies at dusk. My videoing is still a work in progress but it is a short clip and predominantly listen to the Rainbow lorikeets as they come in to roost for the night. Ensure that your sound is on fully.

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.

Fabulous. If I could see that from my window, I’d wake up at dawn every day to see the sun rise 🙂

Love the nature sounds, not to mention the zipper. Were you effected by the recent “storm?” The embattled cruise ship was top news here. M 🙂

Glad you enjoyed our noisy parrots (and they’d only just started to come in. The sound half an hour later would have been deafening. Thanks for asking and I’m thankful to say that we weren’t affected by the recent storms. We are much further north. Here we were shown the houses being washed down the street as the flood waters came through. The cruise ship made mention but didn’t have the impact of what was happening on land. Cheers Irene 🙂

Didn’t he look great all lit up by the setting sun. As though he truly was a golden boy.

The birds are phenomenal and that is just the start of them flying in. They become deafening and then it at a certain time it as though someone flicks a switch and the noise stops.

That is so nice hearing the bird life. Our bird life is very vocal at dusk at the moment.

Being tropical we get it all year around and it can be absolutely deafening but as you say, so nice to hear.

Ha, ha…sound one made my dog charge into my office, barking! That sounds like a lot of lorikeets coming to roost!

They were only just starting. Soon they would have been deafening and then just as suddenly all would stop.
