'''FurDU''' (or '''Furry Down Under''') is a furry [[convention]] that is held on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], in [[Wikipedia:Queensland (Australia)|Queensland]], [[Wikipedia:Australia|Australia]] currently planned to reoccur in April of each year. <br />
<br />
Although the [[convention]] was originally intended to be held in [[Wikipedia:Melbourne|Melbourne]], It was later decided, (and in conjunction with the original organizers relocating to [[Wikipedia:Queensland (Australia)|Queensland]]) that hosting FurDU on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]], a major Australian holiday destination, would prove more beneficial and encourage a larger attendance from the community.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
====FurDU 2010====<br />
FurDU's first ever [[convention]] was held at The 'Vibe' Hotel on the [[Wikipedia:Gold Coast, Queensland|Gold Coast]] on the 23rd of April 2010 and concluding three days later (on the 25th of April).<ref>''[http://www.furrydownunder.com/index.html FurDU - Coming April 2010] on the official FurDU Website</ref><br />
<br />
Both the [[convention]] registration costs and the choice of venue were planned in an effort to make attending an Australian [[convention]] as affordable as possible. The official website stated that attending FurDU for the three days it runs for should cost under $200 AUD for its attendees including all accommodation costs.<ref>''[http://www.furrydownunder.com/Cost.html Furry Down Under - Cost]'' on the official FurDU Website</ref><br />
