This would have been the biggest decision I have ever made. Even though I say I'm retired, who knows this Mermaid will miss it way to much. Stay tuned just incase she makes a come back, even if it's as a gran-mer

Do you have what it takes to be a mermaid or merman? 🧜‍♀️

Mermaid Nixie is hanging up her shells after eight years at Busselton Jetty. She's regularly appeared in the observatory window, waving to onlookers, swishing her tail and holding her breath as deep as eight metres below the surface.

Mermaid Nixie told Stan Shaw on South West Breakfast it was a hard decision to retire but is looking forward to the opportunity to swim around Australia.

"I'll be off exploring new parts of Australia itself for 12 months. It's a big swim and I've got lots of palaces to go and explore but it should be a great adventure."

Now it's time for a mer-person to take her place but Mermaid Nixie says being ocean royalty isn't as easy as it looks.

"I personally think you need to be free dive trained, you need to have your confidence in the water. You also need to be a performer."

"It's not about how long you can hold your breath because at the same time you're doing bubble rings and love hearts and back flips."

So are you up for the job? 💦

For all my wonderful supporters. Mermaid Nixie will not be taking booking at the end of January 2025 at this stage. She will be on the road exploring Australia. If you want to make a booking at or , please make a booking asap. This place is so magical, and having me is an extra bonus. It breaks my heart, but I have new adventures. Who knows? I may be back in 2026, to spread more joy. I will miss all my guppies. They mean the world to me. I do this as a passion and not a job. They all melt my heart and make me laugh. One day, I hope they all turn into little Mermaids, Merman, or possibly be something amazing. Thankyou to you all 💕
