FurDU (Furry Down Under) is the absolute heavyweight champion of the Australian convention scene! Established in 2010, Oceania's massive premier event takes over the iconic Crowne Plaza Gold Coast right in the heart of beautiful Surfers Paradise.
Taking the region's famous aquatic lifestyle to its absolute limits, the April 17-19, 2026 iteration plunges into its "Beyond the Beach" theme! While standard panels exist, FurDU is legendary for prioritizing massive social events and its spectacular beachfront location.
Because April is Australian Autumn, the weather is absolute perfection for outdoor fursuiting. This culminates in their incredibly famous "Fursuit Walk," where massive crowds of suiters parade outside the hotel right into the vibrant Surfers Paradise public spaces!
With the Gold Coast Airport (OOL) and Brisbane Airport (BNE) providing massive international and domestic access, FurDU is built from the ground up to be the ultimate furry vacation destination.
