The back of the ferry is a social place and over the years we learnt that the world is a small place and you’ll meet someone who knows someone who knows you. Social circles often overlap and that’s the case …

Induction – Kirsty #152
Another inductee from another land, though Kirsty has spent plenty of time in Oz lately – she might be feeling part Orstrayan. Kirsty was a big contributor to Back of the Ferry’s recent story on Drinking at Wembley. Fittingly Inductee …
Induction – Mark #151
A long overdue induction of a long time mate to many Back of the Ferry inductees and readers. A bitterly cold, squally, spitting afternoon was not ideal for an induction, but we pressed on and duly performed the ceremony. Mark …
Induction – Evan #150
The last of the festival of Member #25 inductions was Evan aka Old Man Ev aka the Oldest Man. Members #1, #2 and #25 have been on many an escapade with Evan over many, many years. I will never forget …
Induction – Juanita #149
Wonderful to induct Juanita as a part Member #25’s festivities. Juanita was also part of the Australian 42 that attended #25’s epic wedding. When she heard the words trivia and Geoffrey, Juanita was always going to be a starter at …

Induction – Greg #147
Greg was a very excitable inductee wanting more than one photo. I mean it is a tough decision – in front of the Opera House or in front of the Harbour Bridge. I met Greg, whom I’ve only ever known …
Induction – Noel #146
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 …
