How a ship's hull stopped a Hobbiton wedding
An Australian couple’s plans for a Lord of the Rings inspired wedding ceremony at Hobbiton were scuppered after the cruise ship they were travelling on was turned around by Biosecurity NZ.
The P&O ship Pacific Adventure was reportedly denied entry into New Zealand after it was found to have concerning levels of biofouling and organisms growing on the hull.

Will you be watching out for the new Lord of the Rings movie?
The odds appear good that the Lord of the Rings movie makers might soon be making a return to the Hobbiton film set in the heart of Waikato.
But don’t call it a shire thing just yet.
Warner Bros announced last week that a new Lord of the Rings movie titled The Hunt For Gollum would be released some time in 2026.
