Inductee Lance #106 has been raving about his 2019 induction ever since he got back to New Zealand. So it was with much pleasure that Lance was able to help induct two of his greatest NZ mates on the #worldsbestcommute. …

Induction – Darragh #145
The second in our 2 for 1 induction ceremony on what was a magnificent February afternoon was Darragh. This induction’s been a little while coming, but the delay was chivalrous as Darragh didn’t want Alice to miss out. Favourite beverage: …

Induction – Alice #144
Our first inductions in 2023 (our 15th year of inducting people into the delights of the Back of the Ferry) are Manly residents originally from Ireland. Alice and Darragh, when they aren’t working from home, usually get the Fast Ferry …

Induction – Sam #134

Induction – Luke #132

Induction – Maddy #126
Another round of inductions from the next generation of Back of the Ferry members. We especially love introducing the delights of the ferry to people from outside the insular peninsula. Maddy was very lucky to have the event documented from …

New Brighton Lager by @TwoBirdsBrewing
So Manly is emerging from the COVID19 slumber. On the second day of the “50 people rule”, Sydney has turned on a freezing day, but that hasn’t stopped people patronising those venues that have chosen to open. Straight back into …

Induction – Ros #110
The third of our inductees is Ros. Like Kate and induction ceremony officiating member #37 Molly, Ros is a paramedic so we all felt very safe. A post induction debrief occurred at 4 Pines where we’d time our arrival perfectly …
