 * Fullers Cream Run - In 1910, Ernest Fuller won the twice-weekly mail contract between Russell and Keri Keri andexpanded the business with another boat. Then in 1927 he took over the ‘Cream Run’and another two vessels were added to the fleet. It was the Cream Run that was to become the mainstay of the developing E. A. Fuller & Sons Ltd business – turning into a tourism venture that still thrives today. Ernest decided to take fare-paying passengers and make a scenic journey of the normal cream collecting activities from the farms scattered around the Bay. “Come for a ride he’d say... boat’s leaving 6am sharp in the morning,” recalls his grandson Snooks Fuller. His daughter wrote, “My father Ernest was a marvellous courier, and as the boat travelled he gave an interesting commentary on places, people and history, often allowing people to steer the launch”.
