I joined WWOOF because I am looking for a place to live and work to begin my adventure in Australia. I would like to discover the local culture as closely as possible, by sharing daily life with the people who live here.

My friend Sebastian and I have always wanted to experience Australia in a more meaningful way—not just as tourists, but by truly connecting with locals and being part of everyday life. We’re both open-minded, curious, and excited to learn more about sustainability, farming, and the Australian way of life. WWOOFing feels like the perfect way to do that. We love working in nature, meeting new people, and experiencing different cultures firsthand. This is more than just a trip for us—it’s a chance to learn new skills, contribute to local communities, and see a side of Australia that most travelers never get to experience. We’re looking forward to helping out, learning from hosts, and making unforgettable memories along the way.

Our 100ac farm is situated on Deep Creek in the Macedon Ranges, about 1 hour outside Melbourne. We run livestock and grow vegetables for our own use. Animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, chickens, goats, dogs and a pig. There are two of us living on this property, entirely off the grid.

I am passionate about learning new things and hope WWOOF and working on farms is going to help me with that. What excites me most is the chance to contribute and exchange cultures. I really like being outdoors, working with animals and I am happy to lend a hand with any kind of projects around the farm.

We are situated in the Keysbrook hills (Binjareb Noongar country), about 1 hour south of Perth, Western Australia. We have a small holding of 7 acres with a winter creek, open pasture, orchard, and a bush area that connects to the adjacent forest where the Munda Biddi cycle trail runs past the property. For swimming, the nearby North Dandalup Dam is perfect for a refreshing dip at the end of a hot day in summer & for picnics throughout the year.

Why do we keep woofing? Because every experience teaches us something new. Whether it’s a farming technique, a cultural tradition, or just a great conversation with our hosts, woofing constantly enriches our lives. Plus, it's a fun way to give back while learning how to live more sustainably.

Needed a way to save expenses and meat new people in the hopes of seeing life from their point of view. WWOOF was a credible source from what I heard and offered the perfect mix of connections and odd jobs I was searching for.

Rural acreage in a beautiful and relaxing area with our own creek & dam, with lots of native animals roaming free. Still very close to city amenities, beach & Magnetic Island. We are set up for horses, stables, paddocks with fruit trees, chickens, dogs, cat, snake, fish & rabbits

350 acres on the escarpment 10 min from Byron Bay, adjacent to small remnants of subtropical rainforest. We run 150 cattle and grow  pecans. We are pursuing biological farming practices. We are active in Landcare and are replanting the Riparian zones on the farm. Volunteering includes cattle handling, fencing, maintenance of rainforest plantings, weeding, harvesting of pecans, and vegetable gardening. Accommodation for 4 in our home as family with flexible meals. No children. No smoking inside.

I’ve always wanted to work on a farm. I’m especially interested in joining a small, friendly, and warm environment where I can learn a lot from scratch, rather than a big company. I’m excited to get hands-on experience and be part of a welcoming farm community

I had done wwoofing in England before. It was very wonderful experience, so I want to do it in Australia again. I love animals so much, so I would be very happy if I could work involving animals. I also like eating, so I would like to learn about foods.

I joined WWOOF as I have an interest in sustainable living/farming. I also greatly value being part of a community, particularly focused on hands on/outdoor work. I love to get my hands dirty and get stuck into a task/activity. And of course, I’ve joined to meet some like minded people!

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

It gives me a lot of peace and satisfaction to deal with animals. I enjoy caring for them, observing their behavior and making sure they feel comfortable and safe.I used to ride horses for almost 2 years. It was great interacting with the horses and working with them. Dealing with animals helps me relax and gives me a sense of responsibility and satisfaction. I also think it is important to learn where our food comes from and how it is produced. Learning about growing vegetables and other products really appeals to me, because I enjoy eating tasty and healthy food. By understanding how food is grown in a sustainable and responsible way, I can be more conscious about what I eat while increasing my knowledge about nature. For me, caring for animals and enjoying good food is a way to relax and enjoy everyday life.

Our property is sitting on 30 acres. We have natural bushland and  trying to develop it to a permaculture hobby farm, our property is very close to township, if you have a car it’s less than 5 minutes, if you walk it’s about 20-30 minutes. We have at least 10 different organic fruit trees and herbs, we breed pigs and cats, and we have 2 dogs, we also have sheep and  goats. Our property is free of smoking and drug use. Foul language and disrespect is not tolerated. 88 days, as a charity, we were able to help many of our wwoofers with their 2nd year visa, so we’ll be happy to help those who helping us ( the charity). Languages spoken on our property are: English, Italian, German, Arabic, Hebrew and some French. dress code: please be considerate on how you dress up, ladies we just ask you to be mindful what you wear, specially around the charity, but also around our farm, be respectful and considerate. Food: International cuisine, vegetarian and meat lovers welcome, we have daily lots of fruits and vegetables, you can also cook for yourself if you prefer. if you like to cook, we would love to taste new dishes and welcome to create your favourite foods.

I joined WWOOF, because it is a great combination of getting to know people and learning. I've known about the organisation for years and have been a WWOOFer before, when I was travelling around New Zealand. As mentioned before, there are a lot of plants surrounding me back home in Germany. However, while my house plants especially are doing rather well, I couldn't claim that I know much about what I am doing. That is even more true for the outdoor plants in our garden. So naturally, I'd love to learn more about keeping plants alive and growing food organically. WWOOF seems like the optimal place to do that, because my hosts can share their experience with me and I can learn new skills by doing. Furthermore, it gives me an opportunity to meet new people, which I otherwise likely would not meet; hostels feel like half of their occupants are my compatriots which isn't bad per se, but I do not have to fly all the way to Australia for meeting them.
