title Ferry Landing, Whitianga, New Zealand - 23rd November 1992 intro Nosher and The Old Chap reach New Zealand, via Fiji, and meet up with the relatives of Ferry Landing in the Coromandel Peninsula of New Zealand. There are visits to the local beaches, trips on the ferry to nearby Whitianga, a spot of fishing, visiting Cousin Steve's shop (Ferry Landing Stores, which Nosher's future wife would also visit a couple of years later) and listening to Mercury Bay FM - 'The Greatest Little Station in the Nation' - in the motel owned by Dad's brother Clive and his wife Margaret. There's also a chance to test out a theory that in the Southern Hemisphere the room spins round the other way when completely wrecked. Sadly, it doesn't seem to, as the Coriolis effect does not seem to impact upon beer-induced spinning. scan-130117-0031 Our plane on the tarmac at Fiji airport scan-130117-0019 Anna roams around on a trundle truck scan-130117-0020 Steve grins as Clive inspects the barbeque scan-130117-0029 Clive turns some chops over scan-130117-0021 Beers for tea scan-130117-0022 The eponymous Ferry Landing scan-130117-0023 The Ferry Landing Store scan-130117-0028 The Old Chap and Ferry Landing Store hw21 The Ferry Landing library, and some classic cars scan2020-12-09-0007 The Old Chap and Suzanne walk over to the Motel scan-130117-0024 Hot Water Beach scan-130117-0027 Clive and niece on the pier at Ferry Landing scan-130117-0032_01 The Ferry Landing pier scan-130117-0026 Clive chats scan-130117-0025 Clive chases his granddaughter scan-130117-0034 The boys do a spot of fishing scan-130117-0035 The Old Chap casts his line scan-130128-0027 Clive sits on rocks and waits scan-130128-0029 Clive climbs the rocks with a fish in tow scan-130117-0033 Clive and the Old Chap scan-130128-0005 Clive and Trevor scan-130128-0004 Beers in the Whitianga Social Club scan-130128-0006 On the ferry back from Whitianga scan-130128-0010 Suzanne looks out to sea scan-130128-0012 Clive and Trevor at the stern of the boat scan-130128-0013 Suzanne looks a little glum scan-130128-0031 Captain Birdseye shows off a gurnard scan-130128-0033 Suzanne takes the helm of the boat scan-130128-0019 The skipper chops some fish up scan-130128-0018 Our catch of the day scan-130128-0020 Disembarking the boat scan-130128-0021 A family gathering around the table at the Motel scan-130128-0026 Clive and The Old Chap eat chips in Whitianga scan-130128-0008 A mini waterfall tumbles over the cliff scan-130128-0015 Footprints on the beach at Cathedral Cove hw19 Small boys mess around in the "cathedral" scan-130128-0041 A woman roams around the cathedral scan-130128-0007 Cathedral cove scan-130128-0039 Another view of the beach hw20 A tree on the beach
