The '''Dubbo in February Furmeet''' was a [[furmeet]] held during February at [[wikipedia:Dubbo, New South Wales|Dubbo, New South Wales]], Australia. The event is based around a visit to the [[wikipedia:Taronga Western Plains Zoo|Western Plains Zoo]] and was organized by [[Fima]]. The name of the meet was encouraged by the general format of bigger Aus furmeets; (city in month,FUR) [[MiDFur]].<br />
<br />
Attendance was theoretically free (the cost really being in getting to Dubbo) with a small gift bag for each attendee; however, some locations, such as the zoo, require an entrance fee.<ref>Taronga Western Plains Zoo.

<br />
==History==<br />
Diffur was an annual event designed to encourage regional furs to start attending and starting their own furmeets and hang out in a relaxed atmosphere with some interesting people.<br />
Unfortunately after the initial pull of a new event and the idea of a regional meet, poor planning and execution as well as the lack of interest from those who were within a reasonable drive the interest of everyone waned, including the organiser.<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
The 2008 meet was held over February 22-24 with seven attendees: [[DDD]], [[Treemeadow]], [[Batty]], [[Sebastian]], [[Neelix]]. [[Tarushiri]], and [[Fima]]. Attendees enjoyed a whole half of the zoo (not having the foresight to drive), videos, barbecues, and artings.<ref>[https://www.diffur.com ''Diffur''] , accessed January 15, 2009.</ref><ref>Possum.
