Induction – Meryl #163
Meryl has been on a number of FNQ beer adventures with #1. Without Meryl I wouldn’t have been able to experience the craft beer delights of Mackay, Townsville and Cairns. She has a sense of adventure and is extremely tolerant …
Induction – Orlando #162
It is funny how work Christmas parties I organise often end up in Manly. Fortuitous™ I guess. And a great opportunity to induct a few workmates. Orlando is the 6th second generation inductee on to the Back of the Ferry. …
Induction – Lindsay #161

This induction has been a long time in the making and warranted the special reservation of an induction number. Dean (aka The Mayor) has been a fan of the Back of the Ferry since it’s beginnings but due to his …
Induction – Ron #157
Great to induct another overseas visitor into the Back of the Ferry family. Sydney turned on a winter’s day for the ages (surprising given how sh1t) the weather has been lately. Today’s induction a little bit unusual. On the induction …
