About Fur Out West

Fur Out West was an annual furry convention in Mandurah, Western Australia, organized by Firebird Entertainment. The first convention was held November 24 to 26, 2017, at the Atrium Hotel, chosen for its low room prices, nearby food venues and a beach five minutes away, which made it the most affordable furry convention on Australia's west coast. It also featured a "Random Guest of Honour" drawn from the audience. A one-day edition, Fur Out West 2.5, was held in Inglewood in March 2019, and the final convention took place in July 2023.
