A pleonasm if I ever saw one! Hey crazy is good…………right?!

After all I enjoy a good weird war game every now and then.

Well on the last day of our short mid week break (some posts on this over the next few days) we came across a very different sort of weird!

The annual WAFF (West Aussie Furry Friends) convention was happening in our hotel. I didn’t know this even existed and not sure that I want to!

A description from the organisers website:

“Sharpen thy swords and fluff thy tails! WAFF 2025 dons its finest cloaks and chainmail for Knights of the Roundish Table — a medieval misadventure packed with honour, hijinks, and just a touch of nonsense. Join fellow furs in a land of heraldry, merriment, and noble silliness where dragons are optional but good vibes are mandatory. Whether you’re a gallant knight, a mischievous bard, or a humble potato farmer, there’s a place for you at our table (round-ish though it may be)!“

Sounds like a twist on D&D but I am really not sure.

At least they enjoy leaning on the bar, so they can’t be all bad…….can they?

Just plain creepy and I don’t mean in a good way!

Watch out Ms Hood I’m coming for you.

I always thought “Westies” were weird, but this takes it to a completely new level.

Apparently this is quite a phenomenon with next year’s event a bit too close to home. Melbourne Fur Con is happening in February 2026 at the Preson Novotel!

The attendees were great fun and Maree had a great time cuddling some new “furry friends”, and just loved the costumes. We had to fly out or I would have tried to “gate crash” the event to find out more.
