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.

Visiting the Mangroves

Last day on Lembongan Island and in Bali.  We decided to rent the scooters again (they were $7 a day to rent) and explore more of the island. We made our way to the mature mangrove forest on the far side of the Island - which was not that far since the Island is only  8 square kilometres in size.  This forest plays a very important role in protecting the Island and hosts 13 species of trees and is home to 30 bird species.  We took a tour on a jukung outrigger boat then headed back to the hotel to enjoy some pool and beach time.  Another great day.
