It’s been a cracker of a year in the Southern Highlands.
After a few let’s say, interesting years, it’s been incredible to see local businesses thriving again and loads of our awesome events and celebrations up and running with full force. We’ve loved sharing the places to go, the people to meet, and the amazing stories of the Southern Highlands with you all.
Of course, the end of the year is a good time to get retrospective and have a look at what you loved reading about on The Fold.
So, here are our top twelve articles of 2024.
And we can’t wait to bring you more good reads via The Fold’s Guide in 2025!
