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.

    What is that second and third photo? The third one is kind of beautiful and hideous at the same time.

      The second and third photos are both hideous and beautiful. The second is a sea snail in its death throes and the third is a blue bottle. Both have been washed up on the beach. Blue Bottles are very painful when you get caught by their trailing tentacles/stingers. When the wind and currents are going a particular direction swimming in the ocean may not be pleasant.

        😮 Gah! How do you know it’s dying? All the bubbles, I’m assuming, but did it just need to be back in the water? I had to look up “blue bottle”. I was going to guess a jellyfish. That seems to be what it is or at least in that family. (Looks a bit like an alien.)

        Yes the bubbles. Once the bubbles come it is too late. Blue bottles are different to jelly fish in that they are not a single multicellular organism. Instead they are made up of colonies of individual animals which are unable to survive alone as they need the workings of the others to survive as a single animal. They are also known as Portuguese man o’ war. It’s an alien you don’t want to come across when swimming.

        That blue bottle is fascinating. Unbelievable. I’m showing this to my kids.
