Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine
The Queens of the Sydney Underworld
I hope this will be the basis of the main plotline of the next season of Miss Fisher's Detective Agency.
I hope there is a next season of Miss Fisher's Detective Agency.
Yes I know the show takes place in Melbourne, but a change of scenery might be nice.
Come back, Miss Fisher!

I feel like I just read about this pair....
Lovely comic style.
The entry for Lyudmila Pavilchenko is pretty impressive, and I'm eager to read the rest.

Tilley's in Canberra is quite a famous cafe/pub named after Tilley Devine. I basically wrote my PhD sitting at their tables. They had a great speakeasy-like atmosphere from before hipsters appropriated that vibe. And seem to have a larger-than-usual LBGTQ contingent among their staff and customers too.

Ha, and I just read the "History" page on their website for the first time and spotted this gem:
"Initially established to create a safe and comfortable environment for women, Tilley's caused its first commotion by banning groups of men drinking inside unless they were accompanied by at least one woman. "
