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.

Riding the Wave

Well it is official - school holidays are here and we are travelling south.  First stop Hayden - the location of the 'Wave Rock".  Got there a little late and it was dark (sun goes down at 6pm) so we had to wait until the next day to see the wave.  Little did we know that it was only 150 metres from where we were sleeping.  Got there early the next day and no one was there - it is an amazing geological feature of granite - we had way too much fun taking pictures of all of us surfing this enormous 15 metre tall, 110 metre long solid granite wave.  We also explored Magic Lake and found this spring feed pool that has 7 times more salt content than the Dead Sea - it was really cool swimming in it as it felt like we had lifejackets on and we could not keep our feet from rising to the surface.

The view from the top of the wave
the pictures does not do it any justice - the view was amazing



The colours were amazing and the sky looked fake today


Sean's turn to ride the wave




The cute little wallaby that greeted us at the wave


Lake Magic - beautiful colours
the salt content of this inland lake is
so high that the edge of the lake is salt crystals


Kids taking in the magic - they are standing on salt crystals



This is in the salt pool - we had a hard time keeping our limbs under water


Sean's new bike - he is a big boy now!!!
