Well it better be cheaper too - nearly $500 return for two people and a pick-up truck is a tad on the nose.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Nah...they just get off half way.....Since the owners of said types of vehicles are only half people???
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
I aint bovvered
What makes you say that?
I reckon Picton's pretty cool myself & I drive thru it a few times to get to the bach. If you've got kids its a fantastic place to stop as they've done up the foreshore really beautifully with great playgrounds etc. The modellers run toy sailboats for 50cents & run a small train for about the same cost for a ride- basically not making any money but for the joy of giving.
If you have a look at the number of boats moored in the marina or parked or beached beside the thousands of baches lining the sounds you'll realise that there are many people using it as a supply for fuel, marine supplies & food for their holiday homes.
It is the startline for one of THE best scenic twisty motorcycling roads in NZ.
Unless of course if you're from Blenheim -they for some reason don't like Picton...

a lot of that will go if the ferries stop
Finding new ways to fall off
In the short term and then I reckon it will re-invent itself as an upmarket destination (will have too) and it has certainly got the vistas and access to world class water sports / scenic delights etc- buy a house when the prices crash - your children will thank you for it!

Back in the day...Picton was always cool too visit....but whenever you met the locals they seem to lean toward a bit of bif as the prefered form of greeting which made it difficult to foster longterm relationships ...we always put it down to inbreading; maybe it was the sea airUnless of course if you're from Blenheim -they for some reason don't like Picton...bring on the new terminal
....wherezz that track go

My mum is one of the volunteers that run the train and sail boats.

Yup, Picton is the bomb. Love the quiet scenic ramblings. You can go in any direction and get scenery you could die for and oh yes, that Queen Charlette drive is one of the most awesome roads i have ridin. The views are absolutely spectacular.

If there is a bad place to put a ferry terminal
Clifford bay is it...
I was a engineer at Dominion Salt...
The salt works are there for 3 reasons
1.. ground is inpervius ( holds water in ponds)
2.. heat / sun
3.. WIND.
going to be very intresting watching them park up
a ferry in those winds at clifford bay...

In the plans I seen when it was first proposed.. the farries were going to be berthed1.. how will that affect the ferries?

side ways to the prevailing winds... imagine the surface area of a rail ferry..
a 20knot wind will apply 100s of tons of side force..
