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.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Very strange looking, but so unique. Your photo really shows the formation caused by erosion.

Amazing rocks and when you think about the time it took to form and all the little crustaceans that lived between the layers and eventually got washed out it is quite mind boggling.

Do you know if it was wind or water or a combo that sculpted the rocks? Are they called Pancake Rocks, or did you name them? As I look at the photo, I wonder what it would be like to dig my hand inside the slats and feel what was left behind.

A bit more about them here. https://irenewaters19.com/2013/11/17/pancake-rocks-the-full-picture/ Predominantly water although wind would have played some part.

The rugged texture with spiky plants and the S-curve in the ocean. It’s a monochrome beauty. I hope you had fun posting it, Irene. Have a good week!

I remember this. Did you post a different angle or color photo of this? It’s gorgeous.

I have certainly posted similar. Not sure if this exact one but could have been but it would have been in colour.

I think so… Sometime. I remember the “pancakes”. 😀 Love these. They’re beautiful in both color and b&w.
