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.
I absolutely love that first photo. I’m obsessed with keys, especially “skeleton” keys. 🔑🗝

You would have been in your element here then. A wall of keys from the original doors of the chateaux.

Great photos, Irene – can you imagine lugging around that humongous key in the first photo to unlock the door to your house! 😉

Thanks Noelle. I’d bury it somewhere rather than carry it around.

Yes I think they were all the old keys from the days before it was renovated.

You had me at the keys! That big one, to the estate gate, perhaps?
