Beatrice Grimshaw
Beatrice Ethel Grimshaw (3 February 1870 – 30 June 1953) was a writer and traveller of Irish origin, for many years based in Papua New Guinea.
==Life==
She was born in Cloona House〔http://www.iguidez.com/video/guides/belfast/cloona-house-oasis-center/〕 in Dunmurry, County Antrim, Ireland into a well-to-do family. She was educated privately, at Victoria College, Belfast, in Caen, France, then Bedford College, London and Queen's College, Belfast and never graduated,〔Laracy, Hugh, 'Grimshaw, Beatrice Ethel (1870–1953)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/grimshaw-beatrice-ethel-6494/text11135, accessed 28 April 2012.〕 though it was later claimed she had been a lecturer in Classics at Bedford Women's College. Her family were Church of Ireland, but she converted to Catholicism after leaving home.
She worked for various shipping companies and then as a freelance journalist in Dublin. After contacting Richard J. Mecredy, the proprietor of the Dublin-based ''Irish Cyclist'', in 1891 expressing her interest in cycling and journalism, she became a contributor to the magazine. Two years later she became sub-editor, and then took over the magazine's sister publication, the ''Social Review'', which she edited until 1903. But she had long harboured a desire to see the Pacific, and in 1904 she was engaged by the (London) ''Daily Graphic'' to report on the Pacific islands,〔 reportedly sailing around the Pacific islands in her own cutter.〔 She was commissioned to write publicity for Cook Islands, Fiji, Niue, Samoa, and Tonga.〔 In 1907 she sailed to Papua on a commission from The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald,〔 but remained for twenty-seven years, much of the time at Rona Falls. She became a close friend of Sir Hubert Murray and his unofficial publicist. She joined exploration parties and managed plantations, including one with her brother Ramsay.〔
In 1936, in company with brothers Ramsay and Osborne〔 she retired to Kelso, New South Wales, where she remained for the rest of her life.
