-A quanter to midnight outside the Rose Bay Flying Base. A small crowd of Bushwalkers is milling about, cars and motor bikes adding more. Pete with his plaster leg is crouching on the kerbstone whacking last-minute tricouni nails into Donnie's boots. Geoffo and Grace, admiring a pine tree lit up like a Christmas tree, follow that line of thought and hope we get a decent Christmas  dinner when we hit Garth's place at Dunedin on Christmas Day. The Dalai Lama is telling us that our flying boat is a derelict old crate which has been off the run for years, and has only been resurrected as a hopeless gesture by QANTAS to try to cope with the Olympic crowds and it will undoubtedly crash into North Head when it tries to take off, but Good-bye and it's been nice to have known us..... and isn't Snow lucky to have gone by boat. A couple of flying boat crew go aboard wearing wading boots. We eye them apprehensively. "That's because you have to wade the last 50 miles," says Nobby. "A nautical mile is a bit more than a land mile, but that shouldn't worry Bushwalkers." The craft is due to depart at one minute to midnight. Our packs and ice-axes have already gone into its hold. We take a last look at the faces of our friends standing under the stars in the soft summer night, then we follow the gum-booted crew through a double wire-netted fence and step aboard. We are off.

 The take-off was out of this world, with great walls of green flying water and silver bubbles tearing past the windows - all flashing, and sparkling in the moonlight. The myriad lights of Sydney below - then the quiet steady flight - blue ocean, blue sky, and on one side the moon and on the other two stars. We flew well above the clouds, floating below like feathers out of a sleeping bag.

 Betty and Pete were at the wharf to welcome us, a highly animated duo amongst the quiet, restrained local folk. Pete had his motor-bike and drove packs and passengers up one at a time to their flat just above the Bay. Betty turned on a wonderful meal for her guests. Pete borrowed the parents' car and the afternoon was devoted to sight-seeing Wellington. We spent the night at the house of an Alpine Club friend who would be joining us for the last fortnight at Mt. Cook. Bed by midnight, planning to be away early next morning to catch the bus to Rotorua where we were to meet up with Snow.
