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.

Turquoise Bay


There are many beaches and snorkeling places in the Cape Range National Park to explore and explore we did. Turquoise Bay was one of our favourites and we went there twice for some great snorkeling.  The water is - well turquoise and so clear and full of tons of tropical fish.  We also had the opportunity to go out on Peter's boat (Sean's Principle) for some fishing and whale watching.

This is a potato cod - Matthew & Krystin were snorkeling not far from shore and they spotted a fish like this one. It was huge - maybe 1.5 metres long and just a thick. Krystin went to point it out to Matthew and he had already seen it and was making a run (swim) for shore.  It was scary.  We stopped at the information centre in the park to find out what it was and we found out that it was a potato cod.  We were also told that they are not always friendly and that most incidences (bites) are not from sharks but are from potato cods.  Krystin was glad that Matthew took off and that she followed!!!
