The '''Perthfur Gathering''' (or '''PFG''') is a large, bi-annual [[furmeet]] that takes place in [[Wikipedia:Perth, Western Australia|Perth, Western Australia]].<br />
<br />
== Format ==<br />
<br />
The PFG is a free-form event, providing a large open space for attendees with only a few scheduled activities. Furs are encouraged to create their own fun, spawning a range of memorable happenings, from a race with giant [[inflatable]] toys to an impromptu [[dealers den]]. The event is open to all [[furries]] (and furry-friendly [[mundanes|non-furs]]), and has previously attracted attendees from country towns and other Australian states. [[Fursuit]]s and other furry attire are welcome, as are sketchbooks, electronic devices and cameras.<br />
<br />
One meal is typically provided (usually lunch), while attendees are encouraged to make their own arrangements for the other. BYO alcohol is permitted however, due to the venue, this does not exclude under-18s from attending.<br />
<br />
Traditionally, smaller warm-up and follow-up events are held on either side of the gathering.<br />
<br />
PFG 6 was scheduled for October, 2012, and was to be themed around [[Wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/PerthFursGather/status/232079039903461376 Announcement] on the Perthfur Gathering account on [[Twitter]].
