Melbourne and Sydney have a healthy rivalry that extends to the kink scene, which has historically driven quality up in both cities. Melbourne's scene is characterised by strong consent education programming, regular workshops, and a slightly more arts-inflected aesthetic than Sydney's. The city has a strong rope bondage community with notable practitioners based there.
