Rake is a real live, honest-to-goodness ex-boy scout, trained rigger, former schooner (a boat with lots of ropes) sailor and an all around nice guy. Usually.
On the other hand, he has also been introduced as “an evil genius disguised as a teddy bear”.
Since arriving in Sydney ten years ago, he has been a visible and active member of the community, tying people up (whenever they stand still long enough) at Hellfire, über, The Chamber, The Sensual Ball, HCH, and other nefarious places.
He’s passionate about kink education, helping organize education events here in Sydney, and has taught workshops on theory and practice, rope, flogging, fire play, and other kinky topics locally at über, QC, The Couples Club, and The Gathering. Equally as important, he attends workshops regularly to hone and broaden his knowledge and skills.
Before moving to Sydney, he was active in the NYC kink scene, where he quickly became friends with fellow bondage enthusiasts, assisting and teaching workshops, organizing events and even judging bondage competitions.
Rake is looking forward to corrupting more people into the wonderfully evil ways of kink, and especially rope.

Peter Masters was born in Sydney in 1958 and is not dead yet. He has been doing nefarious things to members of the opposite sex since his early 20's and became a part of the Sydney (and occasionally Melbourne) BDSM scenes when he returned to Australia from a long stay in continental Europe in 1996. Since then he has written seven or so books about BDSM and about kinky sex, most notably The Control Book and Look Into My Eyes, respectively. He has also run many, many workshops and discussion groups about dominance & submission and mastery & slavery -- one of the earliest being in the late 90's at the Melbourne Consensual conference (who remembers that?) and more recently for the Sydney chapter of MaST (Masters and Slaves Together). He enjoys writing about himself in the third person and going for long walks. He can be seduced with Arnott's Mint Slices.

From the moment UnrulyNerdGirl (UNG) signed on to the internet, back in the days of AOL, she searched for her tribe. While she had no idea what BDSM, D/s, and the leather lifestyle was, she knew there was a part of her that craved to be controlled and cherished. Stumbling upon the Big/little lifestyle opened up a wide world of wonder.
Emphasizing features such as nurturing domination, domestic style discipline, and loving power exchange, age play quickly became a major influence that shaped her style of submission.
Searching every dungeon, treehouse, and blanket fort, she will leave no toy box or A frame unturned while looking for her compatible Big.
Pup Panther (or Tom) is the current and first ever Australian Puppy. He currently lives in Brisbane where he also won the Queensland Leather Puppy title in 2017. Panther got his start in pup play after being pushed over the edge by a kinky friend from Seattle. From there he dove head first in to the local fetish club BootCo. He has also been an active member with Queensland Pups & Handlers (Q-PAH) helping further the organisation in Queensland through volunteering and contributing to committee goals.
Panther has travelled regularly to all active PAH organisations and is a well-known member of each community. He has also extensively travelled to other fetish weekends and helped promote the pup and handler community to the wider public. Panther is a strong advocate for gender diversity and is passionate about providing safe environments for all pups regardless of location. By creating these environments, he believes it fosters positive growth within the pup and handler community. He believes pup play is the gateway to a large array of kinks and tries to instil key values of respect, consent and open communication in his workshops.
On the mats, you can find Panther quietly off to the side waiting to find the perfect puppy to pounce on. When he is in human mode he regularly engages with new members about the basics of pups and handlers and the general rules associated with play ensuring a safe space is created and can be enjoyed by all.
AugustusSeizeHer's interest in kink revolves around using the rich language of D/s to explore relationships and interactions. He believes that getting to know someone, r.e.a.l.l.y. know someone, is more than a sensuous or erotic experience, more than some bondage or impact play - important to the joys of life that such activities are. Yes, sex and kinky activities are "play for grown-ups". But the WAY we "do sex", the WAY we "do our kinks", tell our playmates who and what we are. While exploring these ideas Julian came to see that "vanilla" and "kink" are actually on the same spectrum, they are variations on the same theme that blend smoothly into each other.
