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 – Ryan #139
Our first induction for 2022 was particularly cool. Ryan is the son of one of the founding 4, Charlie (or Pommy_ch) Member #3. Great to be having a beer with Ryan, rather than receiving one from him (which is also …

Induction – Kieran #138
It has been good to get to our latest inductee over the last 12 months in a professional capacity. A consummate vendor, Kieran also provides amusing company in social settings like the Office and the Back of the Ferry. It …

Induction – Mimi #107
In what maybe become a Top 10 thing to do in Sydney on TripAdvisor visiting English journalist Mimi asked inductee #91 whether she could be inducted. We felt confident enough in Michael’s abilities to perform such a task and so …

Induction – Rols #36
Rols was actually inducted way back in December 2014. In an embarrassing slip up by your correspondent the induction details slipped down the back of my virtual couch. It was not until Rols pointed out that he never saw his …
