Ferry Refusal Strands Dozens
In February 2007 dozens of Aucklanders spent the night stranded on the wharf at Matiatia after a Fuller's ferry refused to go back to Waiheke Island to pick them up. About 50 people who had been at Stonyridge Vineyard arrived at the wharf in time for the last boat home, but were told it was full and another would come and pick them up in half an hour. They spent all night on the wharf waiting for it.
During the night the ferry terminal was broken into and tagged.
