Well here it is our blog for our 2014 adventure - the adventure down under in Australia. We, Sean, Krystin, Matthew and Kade Rennie, are heading to Australia for a year. The adventure starts before we actually get to where we will live. We are heading to New Zealand on Christmas day for a little family vacation then off to the east coast of Australia before settling in Falcon in Western Australia. We will be about an hour south of Perth on the Indian Ocean. So stay tuned as we plan to post often to keep our family and friends up to date on our adventure.

Big Round Rocks

Up early today to make the drive to Christchurch – up the East Coast.  Again the scenery was amazing.  First stop was Shag Point – a beautiful beach along the coast.


Shag Beach - just North of Dunedin
We then stopped at Moeraki Boulders – a very unique place. This stretch of the Koehohe beach has scatters of unusually large (1.2-2.2 metres) and spherical boulders.  Over time the erosion of waves has exposed these embedded boulders.






We then stopped in Oamaru to see if we could see some more penguins – the Blue Penguins – but they only come into shore at dusk and we had to push on to Christchurch.  I did find some other cute penguins though!!

 















The boys then found a place the let you ride old fashion bikes – Penny Farthings – they had fun riding them – Kade has decided he wants one of these instead of a unicycle when we get home!



 Got in late into Christchurch so did not get a chance to go exploring as our flight to Sydney was booked for 7 am the next day so it was an early night.

Kia Ora New Zealand thanks for the memories
