{{Fur Out West}}

==2017==
The first Fur Out West convention was held on the 24th to 26th November at the Atrium Hotel in Mandurah, Western Australia.
This location was selected for a number of things, not only for it’s cheap room prices making it to be the most affordable furry convention on the west coast of Australia, but also the variety of food venues, about a 5 minute walk to the beach, and the opportunity to do one of the most unique fursuit group photo shoots.
How about on a bridge over a bay, with one of the cameras being located on a boat underneath the bridge?

The theme was selected as Furlantis; Enchantment under the sea due to the hotel already having their con spaces done to an underwater theme.

Across the weekend the convention saw 115 attendees, and raised $3,850AUD for Assistance Dogs Australia.
