Nicole and Rachael have taken it upon themselves to dive deep into the region’s more niche community groups - the ones everyone knows about AND the ones whispered about behind hydrangea hedges.
They examine everything from nudist gatherings to swinger meet-ups, book clubs where reading is optional, pistol clubs, dungeons & dragons and more.
If there’s a nook, cranny or club where like-minded locals gather, they’re poking their noses in, so you don't have to.

The Fold what's on in the Highlands
We like to call this episode, "the dodgies." Those charlatans dressed in Emperor's New Clothes who see the Southern Highlands as a mark.
Nicole and Rachael pull back the Hamptons linen curtains to reveal just some of those who talked a big Highlands game but then ran away with the ball.

Berrima Gaol will be welcoming new inmates as a boutique hotel but not all villagers are raising a glass of Artemis pinot to celebrate. There’s a fight to stop the development in its current form, and it begins with the infamous gaol wall - which side are you on?
Nicole and Rachael chat to Berrima Gaol project architect from Turner Studios, Dan Szwaj, on one side and Berrima Heritage Matters spokesperson, Jenny Hunter, on the other.
