A body is discovered. Investigators arrive on the scene. They find no obvious signs of attack or trauma, but something's not right. It's the stuff of our favourite podcasts and binge-TV, but how much of true crime is actually true?
Join the A-team from Forensic Science Service Tasmania for a front-row seat to how criminal cases really come together. From the first sweep of a crime scene to the forensics lab, they'll reveal what gets collected in all those little plastic bags, what gets tested, and what can (and can't) be proven. Plus we'll hear about the latest genetic tools being deployed to solve decades-old cold cases.
Content warning: Mature themes, gory details, and likely some criminally bad language.

Ratho Farm is Australia's oldest golf course. Set in scenic countryside on the outskirts of Bothwell in the Central Highlands and heart of Tasmania. Ratho Farm Golf provides 18 holes of challenging inland links-style golf.
The Ratho Farm Golf Links were first laid out and enjoyed by the pioneering Reid family who emigrated from Leith in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1822 and set up Ratho on the outskirts of Bothwell.
Now restored thoughtfully and tastefully, Ratho Farm has become something of a national pilgrimage for Australian golfers to play and learn about the origins of their favourite pastime.
This sees the role of the Ratho Links turn full circle. From its original application when golf first brought together the new settlers of Bothwell to enjoy their shared Scottish heritage, to once again being an important contributor to the local community as a major drawcard for the region.
Ratho now not only offers a full 18-hole layout but also 20 new ensuite rooms in our former convict accommodation buildings. The Homestead provides a warm and welcoming setting and backdrop, with Atrium, dining and bar facilities as well as a golf pro shop and gift shop.

The farm is a showcase of sustainable, small-scale, organic dairy farming that is all about maximising animal welfare and milk quality.
The dairy herd is made up of three breeds, all of which are no longer considered commercially viable: Brown Swiss, Australian Dairy Shorthorn and Normande - all excellent dual-purpose breeds for both cheesemaking and beef production.

Bruny Island Beer Co. started with a conversation between a cheese maker and a brewer. Nick Haddow, founder of Bruny Island Cheese Co., and Evan Hunter, formerly of Tasmanian stalwarts Seven Sheds, Moo Brew and Lark Distillery, designed the brewery around a shared enthusiasm for fermentation and regionally distinctive, artisan produce.
The brewery was built behind the cheesery in Great Bay, Bruny Island and the first beer was released in February 2016. The unique brewhouse has been built to Evan's specifications using recycled dairy equipment sourced from local farms.
While they maximise the quality and consistency of their products with a mix of old and modern technology, they practice a simple approach to brewing - one that harks back to older methods of making and maturing beer.
They brew slow beer in small batches, and lift, tip and stir everything by hand, knowing that quality is only attainable through determination and hard work.
