The world renowned Australian Boy’s Choir, provided a brief but very stirring vocal concert singing the much-loved Indonesia melody “Begawan Solo”; followed by a song dedicated to Nigel Mason, “My Way”; and closing with a rousing rendition “Waltzing Matilda.”

Nigel and Yanie Mason, the husband-wife team that owns and manages Bali Adventure Tours, have transformed the Balinese village of Taro became a world-class homes to a herd of much loved and cared for elephants.
