• Coastal Charm: Uses Fremantle's historic seaside atmosphere for a relaxed event setting.
• The Esplanade Hub: Hosted in a resort-style property in the center of town.

How Do I Get to West Aussie Fur Frenzy?

Fremantle's position just south of Perth makes travel straightforward:

• Flying: Interstate and international attendees fly into Perth Airport (PER), the main hub for Western Australia.
• The Rail Connection: From the airport, attendees connect to the Transperth rail network (the Fremantle Line), which runs a scenic train ride into the heart of "Freo."

Where Should I Stay for West Aussie Fur Frenzy?

The convention's hotel setup is centered on a single seaside property:

• Main Venue (Esplanade Hotel Fremantle by Rydges): This well-known property serves as the hub for the anniversary weekend. Staying on-site lets attendees move between late-night panels and the resort-style pools and lounges without leaving the convention.
• The Fremantle Footprint: The hotel sits in the center of town. Attendees are within walking distance of historic markets, coffee shops, and oceanfront parks suited for fursuit photography.
