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.

A trip to Denmark and Albany

On the long weekend we headed south to Denmark and Albany along the south coast.  Many more beautiful beaches and a wedding as well. Fun filled and busy weekend.

Matthew having fun - check out the waves



Sunday we visited Whale World - Australia's last whaling station which closed November 1978.  It was an interesting place that showed us how the whaling station worked and how they produced whale oil - I am sure that I would not have been able to handle this work environment.

Anvil Beach - Denmark - we were the only people at the beach
It was overcast and only 26 degrees - but being Canadian that is still warm
