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) 
Beautiful sky in the last photo. I would be so tempted to jump in one of those small boats and go exploring!

All lovely, Irene, but the last one is inspirational.

Beautiful skies in the Noosa area. I can actually say I’ve been to Noosaville and Noosa Heads, but it was a long, long time ago. However, your photos bring back some very pleasant memories. (And next month I am taking all of my visit-to-Oz colour slides to my younger brother, who was with me in Australia, to see if he can put them online for me.)
Thanks for sharing your photos…the sky in the last one is amazing!

I hope your brother can put them on your computer. I would love to see some snaps of Noosa – you were here way before me.

I agree. I just had to put it in even though it didn’t happen on the Friday.
