Tonight’s ferry trip was not Terry’s first rodeo. A long time insular peninsula dweller and workmate of #1 and #3, plenty of froth has been blown off more than a couple over the years with this bloke. The #worldsbestcommute threw …

Induction – Bek #127
We love a induction ceremony that involves more than one person. Bek enjoyed a wonderful trip with her flatmates. Having grown up in the Blue Mountains, a ferry trip is an infrequent experience. The harbour turned it on and there …
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 …

Induction – Kristy #123

Induction – Lance #106
I don’t get to see my brother-in-law very much, as Lance rarely ventures to Australia and I don’t get to New Zealand that often either. But when we do it is always worthwhile. Lance loves his beer and his sport. …

Induction – Peter #104
Our latest inductee caught the Manly Ferry for the express purpose of providing samples of Irish Craft Beer for illiards and me to try. After 10 minutes of chat, we worked out a number of mutual friends, experiences and favoured …
